Had an exchange of emails with someone, around 4-5 back and forth emails. He then told me that my last reply never arrived. When I forwarded that email again to him, he told me that actually the original reply arrived but landed in spam… he checked it after I forwarded the initial reply.

It’s not critical or even a super important conversation but I think he lied to me. Is there any chance that a reply lands in spam if the last 4 mails in a thread arrived without a problem?

The emails were sent from a custom domain, using Office 365 Business. I have that email address for more than 6 years and I never had a problem with my emails landing in spam or never arriving. It’s the first time I am hearing about it but I think he is duping me.

Edit Thanks all for the replies, it’s good to know that it can happen.

    Email needs to change. It’s incredibly insecure and the volume of spam/phishing/scams is overwhelming. Most people will not notice this, but if you open a couple of domains or work at a company that has secrets worth getting at, you’ll notice how bad it is.
