Fiona,
I have begun a search for the original email but when looking past 30 days
it takes some time, roughly 2 hours.
I cannot see an inbound email from that user within the past 30 days
except of course the one just received. Is it possible to ask if they have
a delivery receipt for the email they said was sent, it cannot be overdue
if we haven't received it? Also, have them re-send the email and we can
keep an eye out for it.
