Worried about people not receiving my emails

Kate_20

I have loads of emails to reply to recently and they are all very important. Some of the emails have deadlines to reply to them. I am really worried about people not receiving my emails. I cannot check with them because they are not close friends of mine and I am really worried about ruining things. I am really not sure. How likely would the emails get missing after being sent?

Hey @Kate_20 i know it can be stressful waiting for replies to emails. What I do is just double check the email is in my sent folder, to make sure it’s definitely been sent. I think it’s unlikely the emails would get lost after being sent, it’s more likely the person just hasn’t seen it or had the chance to reply yet.

Hi Kate,

I would love to echo everything dandelion has said. I always double check the sent It's absolutely okay to chase things up as well, even if not close friends. You can say something brief like "Just wondering whether you received by email at all?".

Sometimes I open emails and think oooh I'll reply to that in a minute ,and then get distracted. And then because the notification is now cleared, I might forget. So those chase up emails are actually super helpful to me!
