I have a dispute on my hands in which the other party (landlord's real estate agent) dishonestly claims to not have received an email that I truly did send.
My questions is, what are the ways to prove that the email was indeed sent?
Thus far, the methods that I have already thought of are:
- Screenshot of the mail in the outbox
- Forwarding a copy of the original email
I am aware of other things like HTTP/ SMTP headers etc that would exist as well.
- Are these useful for my purposes, and if so how do I extract these?
The email in question was sent using Yahoo webmail ( http://au.mail.yahoo.com/ ).
Edit: I am not seeking legal advice here, just technical advice as to how to gather this information.
1at best you can prove that a mail was delivered between your mailserver and his mailserver. – artifex – 2010-01-21T11:04:39.980
1Great information, however, even if it is in your 'Sent Mail' that is not proof it was delivered. You could get a failed delivery notification you subsequently deleted. I think that by retaining it in your sent mail and tracking the actual email address delivery was attempted may be sufficient proof. Please consult with counsel before attempting, your local laws may vary. – None – 2010-07-30T18:50:21.693
