Oops, This is an edited post since Father Xmas pointed out I got "Email down" mixed up with "Market down". 
There is a known issue with the Email client. On Test, there is a patch to fix it. The patch note says:
Global EmailSo, could that be the source of your problem?
• Fixed a bug that would delete anything sent as an attachment if there was a double quote (“) in the body of the email.
Anyway, send a /petition in to get your inf back.

Nope, the body text only contained three letters: inf. I don't tend to get long-winded when I send myself money. |

Stupid question, but did you remember to put @ in front of the global handle? Also, did any of your characters receive the email? If you're sending to your own global, all your characters, including the character you sent it from, will receive the e-mail (though only characters of the same faction as the sender can claim any attachments).

To clarify, I have no emails sitting in my inbox, so there's no reason they shouldn't be showing. Has anyone else had trouble with this? I sent a petition, so hopefully I won't lose all the influence I sent. |

It is possible that global was down when you sent the email. I saw a report from someone on Justice last night that globals had gone down and since they don't have to be down long to eat an email, that "could" be what happened.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

There is that possibility also.

Wooo... sorry for the long delay in response. Yes, I used the global handle name. With the "@". I do have my global in my sig (points down). I've already used the email system before, so I know it can work. I also petitioned it and got a response stating that the global channel issues are a strong reason why I haven't seen the emails pop up. |

I was also told that once the global channel issues were fixed, the emails should show up. While they haven't yet, I'm hoping they will soon. And not Soon (TM).
