Given out wrong email address....

annaangeluk_2

I'm guessing this is a pretty pointless question but I'll ask anyway!!

As the title says, I have given someone that I wanted to get in touch with me the wrong email address:eek:. When I realised my mistake I set up a new address to match what I'd given them but I think by then it was already too late! Is there anyway of retrieving a message sent before the address was set up?? I know it's probably a really stupid question:o!!

Thanks in advance!

BTW, it's a googlemail account, just in case that makes any difference!!

I dont think so, not unless you can get into the senders email and look at their sent messages!

they probably received a message saying that their email didn't go through. Maybe they will try again...

You could ring them up, send them a letter, go round to see them, Tweet at them, and so on! Do you know anyone they know, who could pass on a message? Though I suspect you don't have the information to make any of this possible...

I think email wise you are up the creek - there probably will be a message back but it will say that the account doesn't exist. Now if I got that sort of bounce I might just try some slight variations on the email address I'd used in case of typos but I wouldn't resend it to the failed address.

No other info unfortunately!! Just first names! Oh well, that wasn't meant to be!!

Hi,

if he's still interested he will be back in the pub/club where you first met. :rotfl:

Did you maybe give him a duff email addy just to get rid of him for the night, then have second thoughts?

It's a guy I met on holiday! We were both on holiday with our kids! I really thought I'd given out the right address but realised it ended with 7 and I'd written 07! aside from hiring a private detective I'm going to have to chalk this one up to stupidity!

You could try registering this address then hope he emails again...

Bummer! A good idea (which will help when you meet future Mr. Rights, but not past ones) is to print out slips of paper / buisness cards with your correct email address / facebook address / mobile number (or whatever personal info you are prepared to give out to ramdom totty) and keep them in your purse.
You can always use a more annoymous email address which you can add to outlook/thunderbird so it is regularly checked - annaangeluk - at - gmail.com (unless of course that is your real name!).
If you know what city he's from and his first name you might be able to try a search on facebook and hope he has a photo on his profile (massive longshot).

aw shucks!

Is he from your own area, if so you could put a wee advert in local paper, (not wanting to appear too keen, of course :rotfl:) explaining mistake, though don't put full email address, only correction, or you might be bombarded with smutty emails from weirdos.
