There have been two situations that, no, I can't name just this
second, so this is anecdotal material *until I stumble back upon* the
very real cases, BUT...

Twice in the last maybe six months, there has been chatter about the
receiving end's server(s) stopping the flow of incoming emails for
unknown reasons. The occurrences were purely "glitches", NOT on
purpose. It was either machine failure or accidentally
Human-instigated mis-code or something that provoked the situations.

End users found out when a sudden flood of sometimes OLD email
suddenly hit their email inboxes. The last one was just in last few
weeks. If and when I re-encounter that information, I'll post for
posterity. :)

As for the once formerly viewed and then now missing emails, been
there, done there. Things being what they are in my own #Life, I've
most definitely... "wondered" how the emails "disappeared" when they
are NOT something I would have EVER deleted. It affects very few, less
than a handful of correspondences.

Sanity is found in realizing I have a VERY LARGE inbox.. and I'm
surely just not using the right words for my queries. I've convinced
myself that I'm using words that convey the same thoughts as the
original messages but are not a search string-friendly match for the
specific words that were originally written. :)
