Hello Julian,

>So in a nutshell 'it depends'. Not a satisfactory answer but true.

The longest I've waited for an email to arrive is 7 days(1).  That was
well over a decade ago when the 'net was far from being ubiquitous, like
it is these days.  It's far easier for servers to find alternative
routes now.  AWS failures notwithstanding......

Emails usually arrive within seconds of dispatch now.

(1)  I was on the 'phone with the sender when they sent it.  Headers had
the time stamps to match.
