    Hello,

    From the best to the generally hardest/slowest places to check here are several ways that you can track down a missing email :

    • Check the mail logs on your incoming email server
    • Check the mail logs on your delivery email servers
    • Check your spam folder and mail filter rules
    • Have the sender check for bounces in their spam and other mail folders
    • Have the sender check the mail logs on their outgoing email servers
