In a conversation a guy asked me why I was not replying to his emails and I was shocked to hear that. I am pretty fast when it comes to answering emails. I also did a quick search, even the spam folder but could not find his email. He tells me he sent it but I could not find it from my end.
After the conversation I investigated the issue further to see if there is something somewhere that I can improve.
Many of you may be aware that I have multiple email address when it comes to contacting me. Ideally one from each site and that is because it helps me understand the contact point. If you send me an email directly it lands into the given inbox and gets auto forwarded to my main account where I have the needed labels and filters to identify it correctly.
This is where I found very strange thing.

One of my inbox had 30,000+ spam email messages in last 30 days. This means if you email me chances are your email may have landed in the Spam Folder of that inbox which means it does not get forwarded to my main account.
So next time if you contact me and do not hear from me for few days try using contact form as that has custom filter attached which never goes into spam (as far as I know).
But if you are not planning to subscribe through Email. Try subscribing to RSS.
