Bec - have you looked at the (prior) email headers from this person? That will tell you what email client is normally used, and some other intermediate server information.
I have just tested this, and It’s possible for (for example) using Outlook desktop versions to copy or move items to and from the Sent Items folder. Without looking at the sender’s emailer, and forensically examining the headers - Sent, Received, Created dates (etc) - you’re not going to win an argument though, I reckon. _____ Ian Thomas Albert Park, Victoria From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Bec Carter Sent: Saturday, November 29, 2014 9:57 AM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: [OT] Turning off outgoing mail possible? Haha thanks guys but this case is quite suspicious. It was sent over two weeks ago and it just happens the most important email is the only one which didn't arrive. All others arrived. I'm not buying it. :-) Is it possible to achieve this by tampering with the mail server settings or some other way? Noonie- I've not been able to replicate this by dragging into the sent folder in gmail. Perhaps Outlook will do it but that would be quite dodgy.

The technology has been around longer than the internet and I'd not be surprised if its not been changed in all that time. I'd like to hope it has but not looked into it. Might put that on my weekend reading list. Right after a few marvel comics. :) On Nov 28, 2014 4:12 PM, "noonie" <neale.n...@gmail.com> wrote: Bec, The mail client might let you drag an email into sent items. Email is not guaranteed to be delivered. That's not part of the spec (though you might be able to interpret it that way). So they could have sent it and you still might receive it next week, or never... Isn't that just peachy? -- Regards, noonie On 28/11/2014 5:17 pm, "Bec Carter" <bec.usern...@gmail.com> wrote: Sorry everyone but this one is way way off topic. Someone claims to have sent me an email. I never received it- yes I checked the Junk folder :-) They've shown me their mailbox and its sitting in the Sent folder. Can someone with control of their web domain send an email, have it pop into the Sent items folder but not actually send? Say by somehow turning off (or providing a faulty) outgoing mail server setting or similar? Cheers
