Jennifer: Check your "Outbox" and see if it's in a holding status.
Also check under "Drafts" -- sometimes files end up there, too.
My email is text only and it's quite different from most people's emails.
I have no "drafts" or "outbox".
I have my inbox and my sent mail folder.
I sent the message numerous times to myself as I was copying what i was typing. I know those went thru, cause I saw them.
I am pretty sure I sent the message. But I was planning on only keeping the one message from my sent mail folder (the one i sent to my friend).
So I deleted all the other messages I had sent myself.
I'm thinking I probably accidently deleted his sent mail. But since i never actually saw it. And since the email hasn't arrived, I'm freaking out.
But he has hotmail. So sometimes it takes a while for certain messages. I just wish I knew for sure that it would get there.
I emailed my tech guy, who usually can solve such things (I want to know if i can retrieve the message).
But to make things worse, I'm pretty sure he'll probably say HE needs to do it. And this is a private message that I wouldn't want him to see.
Anyhow it's my own stupidity for erasing the other copies. I'm just hoping this has a happy ending.
