How was he accessing the mail? Was he using an IMAP client or one of the Google controlled MUAs? Like, I’m wondering if this was just a display issue (say: Google won’t display mail until the actual timestamp) or if Google really held onto the mail somewhere in a spool until the timestamp was accurate. It seems weird to me that Google would sit on an email for exactly 8 hours and then deliver it to him. But it seems not-unreasonable to me that Google would have their client set to not display email until after it was delivered (and because of the timestamp issue it wasn’t ‘delivered’ for 8 hours. But an IMAP client that isn’t under the control of Google will display the message if it’s in the inbox, no matter if it was delivered yet or not. laura -- The Delivery Experts Laura Atkins Word to the Wise la...@wordtothewise.com Email Delivery Blog: http://wordtothewise.com/blog
