Proof that e-mail was sent
Hi
I tried to send an important message, with an attachment, on 31 March and the recipients didn't get it because of their paranoid firewall. Unfortunately virgin webmail doesn't alert you to these things and although I got a failure message it wasn't till 3 days later and, crucially, doesn't have the time of the original message. I need some evidence from my hard drive that I pressed 'send' on the Friday morning. If I can't get it I will probably be disciplined and maybe even sacked! Please help - computers know everything - surely mine knows that I pressed 'send'?!?
No Events found!

please explain? what is your email client? if the message isn't in your sent box, then it was likely never sent at all.
it would presumably have to be sent from your computer to ever get to a firewall to be blocked...

Yes, that is a very good point! However, it DOESN'T appear in my 'sent' box and I DID get a 'Mail Delivery Delayed' message. Obviously I'm regretting that I didn't check my 'sent' box, but I've never had a message miscarry on webmail before.
Not actually sure what my e-mail client is...I'm in the UK. I'm on Virgin Webmail if that helps.
