Right now there's a confused lady sitting there trying to remember if she's ever met you or not.

I've had this happen to me. A friend told me while on the phone that he was sending me an email at that moment. I never got it and he didn't get a bounce back message. The email probably went somewhere and I'm guessing that it ended up in someone else's mailbox. I don't think they float around forever. There was probably an error in the server when the message was sent.

Have a great day!!!

Hi. A very large number of emails get "lost" all the time. Sometimes a computer will block it as unwanted. This can be any computer in the chain from you to the intended receiver. Since the message (or photo or music file or whatever) is simply data it doesn't really "go" anywhere. It just doesn't get read by the intended computer. Sort of a "tree falling in the forest" situation.

The world (and that includes the digital world of computers) is full of surprises and uncertainties, and there is every chance of losing mails on account of transmission errors due to many reasons, such as power failure, hardware failure, software corruptions, viruses, worms and Trojans AND, of course, the omnipresent human hackers, both within and outside the various systems involved. Hackers produce malicious codes and are a constant menace to all computers and networks.There are various types of communication media and their effective inter-facings are also involved, and many times, media and media-interfaces, give rise to problems. I haven't yet included natural calamities, but, those too, must be taken into account, considering that many portions of the full link may involve radio links and satellite links also, apart from submarine and other cables and fibers.

i'm satisfied you advised her the way you felt. If she needs some area then you definately opt to provide it to her. If she loves you as a lot as she says she will be able to likely allow you to come back yet you opt to comprehend the marriage might want to also be over. believe is something it really is amazingly not person-friendly to regain as quickly because it is been lost.
