Really bizarre email problem

[xoggoth]

Our website takes orders by email from schools. Email from the website is forwarded to a yahoo account and a google account.

Today I found an email order, quite a decent one, in the junk email box dated 19th March but when I checked the date of the file in appdata it was actually delivered today.

I have the yahoo spam filter turned off, and anyway I only checked online on Saturday and there was nothing there. There is still nothing there although I have it set to keep a local copy and there is a copy of all other emails. Nothing has come through on the Google account.

Anyone got any bright ideas where on earth this email has been? Wondering if I am losing other orders through some error somewhere.

Update: I see the date in appdata is not relevant, stupid live mail changes the file date when you simply view it!!! Still, darn sure it wasn't there before.

Have you tried sending a test email yourself? Set your Yahoo email to show unread messages rather than in date order (I assume you can do the same with Google)

Ta but yes. Sent emails to myself this evening as test and all fine.

I was going to suggest the school's email gateway/ISP but the fact your Yahoo account has received the email, although belatedly, and your Google one hasn't precludes this as a possible cause.

Cheers for answers.

It seems my sister did get her copy and it was sent out on time. Maybe I am going senile but this is 3rd time something similar has happened. Looked at yahoo online yesterday and the junk box contained things that I had got in my inbox ok. Lots of problems connecting at all to yahoo recently although seems all right for last two days.

Now have all spam filtering on the website forwarding and my email accounts turned off. Never seem to get any significant amounts of spam these days anyway.
