So what's going on when someone sends you an email and has evidence that this has left their mailbox - but it doesn't arrive? This keeps happening to me and I'm losing work this way. I don't know if people are emailing, getting no response because I never receive their posts and then giving up. I only know that this is happening at all because of people telephoning to say they've not received a reply to their email to me - emails which I've never got.
I've got a system set up whereby work emails go to an email connected to my business website but to safeguard never missing/losing any emails, that email address is also connected to 2 separate other personal emails. So when I actually get a work email, I usually get 3 copies of it. I can also check work emails on a fasthosts site and also check the back ups on the virginmedia website - which is what I use for personal emails.
Yet, with all this in place, there are still people emailing - from a variety of email addresses and their emails never arrive - not even delayed.
Where might their emails be going to - a sinkhole in cyberspace? Why aren't they getting through, if they do actually leave their mail outbox?
Most of all, technically, is there anything at all I can do to ensure that I know someone has sent me an email?
Is there's anyone here with technical knowledge, can you help me?
