There are several places in the routing process where mail delivery can be
derailed. Is there a way you can find out if the server from which Outlook
pulls your mail actually received the message? Can you log into that server
via a web interface to see if, perhaps, there is a server-side spam folder
that received the message? Depending on the bestcompany.com account type, it
may be that Outlook simply can't see the folder on the server where the
message resides, but that it was delivered.
