Any of a number of reasons. It's an option. It was deleted. You =
are making it up. So far all we have is the hearsay of your employee = who
claimed to have sent you an email that you have no evidence of. No = doubt
that to keep to your adgenda you would post a claim that the = message
magically disappeared within Outlook because that is the only = story that

message
after the server accepts it?
