Are you using .Mac email. Are you missing any emails? Are you sure? How do you know?Well a growing number of people are complaining to Apple that they are, and they only found out because someone complained about not responding to a previous email. The missing emails were at first thought to be a problem with .Mac and Gmail senders, but as the posts grew, it has become apparent that the issue spans many well known corporate domains.
So far Apple customer service reps have no fix for the problem, and some callers are being denied tier 2 support and being told its an intermittent issue. The posts started on June 6th, but the issue seems to have started before that date for some. Some have even said they were told that the missing emails would be in their webmail, and only desktop .mac was effected. This too is posted to be inaccurate. Even others have been told that the missing emails are probably gone for good, lost the the web abyss.
Have you been affected? Many have run their own tests, sending bulk numbered emails to their .mac accounts from other email accounts. Many have reported not receiving them all. Missing 1,2 or 3 out of 10. Are you effected? I suggest you run your own tests and see. If you are, you can find more details here: Apple Discussions Forum - Missing .Mac Mail Thread
Looks like they havent worked out all the .mobileme bugs yet. If you are missing email, you may want to report the problem to Apple Care at 1-800-275-2273.

These .mac not receiving some mail are still ongoing, as of yesterday (1st July 08). My bosses .mac account didn't receive some emails yesterday. This is such a tough problem to even know you have a problem, as it will only show up if you are in contact with someone who has sent you an email you didn't receive. This blog post and the discussion you link to is the only thing I can dig up on the problem, as most will not know they have one. So thanks for flagging it up.
As soon as email hits my MobileMe inbox, it vanishes - no longer to be seen again. I've stopped using MobileMe because of this.
I hope it gets fixied, but until then I won't use it.
I'm using gmail on my imac and losing emails. I didn't do anything about it until now. My plane tickets and shuttle email is gone!!!!
