A couple of things might be happening. First, depending on the volume of messages you expect, you may be missing some because your IMs are capped. You can only receive up to 25 forwarded messages while you're off-world. Any after that are lost. The other possibility is that the e-mail servers (or your own e-mail system) are screwing up. They are not 100% reliable. I've missed occasional messages from automated systems that are supposed to report regularly to me, and I know my IMs weren't capped at the time.
ETA: Incidentally, if the message you're expecting are from your own automated systems (visitor counters, vendors...), the way mine are, it may be smart to script a backup. Have your system send the same message to an in-world "server" when it sends it to you by IM/e-mail. That way you'll have a "safe" copy to review if e-mail messes up. I scripted my backup system to start deleting the oldest messages when it gets too full, which can take months in my case.
