Have been researching why I did not receive an email sent from my gmail
address (using Mail on my iPad) to my BT address, which did not appear
in my Agent Inbox. Discovered that Tools > Servers & Accounts > Inbound
Email Accounts > btinternet > 'Enable account for regular email
retrieval' was not enabled.

The puzzle is that I'm sure I HAVE been receiving such email. And
specifically last night I successfully sent myself one from my gmail
address to my BT address, as part of my forensics, and that was
received.

Is it conceivable that the setting could somehow get changed
inadvertently? Any other insights?
