Where is my email?

Hi,
I wrote an email to my son on the 24th March. I did not want it sent until the 26th March. I composed the email. I then went into 'delayed mail' and specified it to be sent on the 26th March between 9am and 8pm and I requested a delivery receipt. I checked the email, was happy and clicked 'send'. It went to my Outbox folder where I expected it to go. Today is the 26th (my husband turned Outlook on before I got up) and my email is now not in Outlook. It also is not in my 'sent' folder, I did not get a delivery receipt and my son did not get the email.
So where is it???
Or what did I do wrong.
Thanks,
Ozzie Chatterbox

Well you wouldn't receive a delivery receipt If you specified for it not to be delivered before 9 AM today. I'm not very familiar with delayed delivery in outlook, but I think once you hit send it just sits in your outbox until the specified time & date rolls around. Is your outbox sorted in such a way that it might be in there but it's just not showing up? Try changing the "view" to the Date view

Hi, thanks for your interest. I did not expect a delivery receipt until after 9am on the 26th. Whichever way I sort Outbox there are no emails sitting there so it's gone somewhere. It is not in my sent box and my son still did not receive the email. It's not a matter of life and death, I just re-wrote it yesterday and sent, but it puzzles me as to where it is or what I did wrong.
