[access-uk] Re: Missing messages

Hi Douglas,

Nothing surprises me in the e-mail game.  The most likely
cause is over discriminate filtering by one ISP or another.

Subject: [access-uk] Missing messages


I recently set up a Gmail account but decided to do a few
tests before switching over to it.  

Over the years I have been plagued by bouncing mail from
Yahoo groups so one of my tests was to subscribe to a fairly
high traffic list from the Gmail address.  I have been
comparing the list mail which arrives in my Gmail Inbox with
the messages actually listed in the appropriate section on
the Yahoo site.  I have established that a few messages
posted to the list (including two from myself) disappear
between the Yahoo system and 
Googlemail.   

My first thought was that they were being bounced, but the
History of the Gmail address in my Yahoo account states
clearly that there have been no 
bounces.   Nor are the messages in the Spam folder of my
Gmail account.  

I appreciate that an odd message might go astray, but this
seems  
ridiculous.    

I wonder whether anyone with a better understanding of the
working of the 
e-mail system than I have could offer any suggestions.     


Many thanks,


Douglas
