First: If you love cats you cannot be mad! You are actually more sane than dog owners!
Second: the email usually runs through your email provider.
I am using Zoho biz email (which is free and faster than gmail business.
I just go to mail.zoho.com/biz
Then login and check my Sent folder.
The only exception may be if you changed a preference to send Direct (to other side) under Options /Other / Email settings.
Now if you can help me find where I can write a check, (or cheque), we will both be smarter!
