[I click "send/recieve all" and a copy appears in my inbox, which is set to leave a copy on the server.]
"Oh, okay, I've got it - I hadn't downloaded the new messages."
Important Safety Tip: Check for new messages -before- bitching to me that you haven't gotten something; I'll be less likely to shove an assortment of writing implements into your kidneys.

Here's what my boss does....
If someone sends an email requiring ctions to me and the boss, the boss will immediately forward it to me, spout out a bunch of "we'll get right on that!" and "where are we on this" and "this is urgent" before reading his next e-mail which is from me stating that the job is done.
I shit you not - on a weekly basis I get at least one of these long rambling instruction manuals from him, copipd to all the big-wigs in New York of course, then 5 minutes later a short "oops" message when he sees that I'm done already.
Picks his ears with a pen cap in meetings, too. Smooooooth.
