Alan2273 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Today I received 7 e-mails that were all dated 08/05/2007.When I first looked at them I did not spot the date and as nearly all of them were for purchases, I wondered what was going on.Has anyone else had this happen to them.

AlanHo Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Are you sure that they weren't sent by me - according to some on this forum I am regularly getting the date wrong..................On a serious note - yesterday my Outlook Email kept asking me to enter my user name and password and refused to connect to my ISP. I re-booted the computer and all was then OK - except that Outlook proceded to download about 50 old Emails I had already downloaded and either filed or deleted. They went back just a couple of weeks - not years as in your case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I have received the odd one or two several months after they were sent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had you received them before, after you originally made those purchases?You don't say which e-mail service you are using and whether you're also using an e-mail client. If you are, and it's Outlook Express, it's well known for its eccentricities, as others have remarked. Since I changed from OE to Windows Live, I've had no weird things happen to my email.

Lamb Chop Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 On the subject of receiving old emails - I had a funny experience with my Incredimail program that I am not sure happens on all,I always ask for a receipt. And seemingly because of that if it gets deleted without being read - it sends me back a message saying this is what has happened.Got one several years old from the then female Sports Minister who let them take football off the must keep on free to air television - now mainly on Pay TV. Interesting :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Not received but sent. I use MSGTAG which sends a read receipt when mail sent by me has been opened.I had a MSGTAG stating 1,841 days - and a number of hours, minutes and seconds had elapsed between sending and being opened.

Do you recall receiving them previously - although it is a long time ago to remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
