I’ve been experiencing problems with people who said that they had sent me emails which I never received. I thought there were some temporary problems with my mailbox (with alice.it) since it’s not unusual to see the pop server complaining for nonsensical reasons.
This morning I noticed that I had no new messages in Evolution (my email client of choice) and this was a bit weird since I’m subscribed to a few mailing lists. I tried accessing my mailbox from alice’s web interface and, while it was true that there were no new emails, I noticed that there were about 860 emails in the junk folder, even though I had never set up a junk filter. A lot of emails were spam but a number of other messages were not. The website says that the emails in the junk folder are automatically deleted after 20 days. Now I’m wondering how many emails I lost all these years thanks to such a smart junk filter (which I hope I have disabled for good now).
If you sent me an email and didn’t receive a reply, it is very likely that alice’s spam filter is to blame.
P.S. If you sent me an email on adding the latest release of the graphics driver then I’ve definitely received a lot of them but I haven’t replied yet since I’ve been very busy with some new projects which I hope to be able to show soon. I will blog about the new drivers soon too since, in case you had doubts, I’m working on them.
Seriously, switch to Google Apps for Domains. It’s free, and it rules.
You just change your MX to Google’s, then you have free access to your mail anywhere. You can even turn on IMAP, so you can still use Evolution from your desktop if you like, yet be able to access all your stuff via the Gmail interface from work/school/travel/etc.
Their spam filter is also far superior to anything I’ve ever seen, and it appears in your IMAP folder list, so you can see what’s going in there and what’s not.

You mentioned that you were working on some new drivers. Is the NVIDIA 173.14.05 driver included? It’s supposed to fix a very serious regression on my hardware.
Sorry to bother you about it, but the issue in question has been very annoying.
Totally agree with Super Jamie that Google Apps is the way to go with email. It is a very tight application and rocks.
