Recently I suddenly received a number of emails that were sent some weeks
previously (eg. sent Nov 20, received December 15). There seemed to be no
connection between these - they were from a variety of different senders and
different ISPs. What has caused this and how do I know there are not others
that have not yet arrived?

I have had a problem like this before, but no guarantees this will fit
yours. You may want to check with your ISP to see if they have a 'Webmail'
service linked to your email account which you would use to check your email
from any other computer, anywhere. You don't have to use this service, but
it is often included and available. You should be able to find out and get
the innformation to log on to this webmail from your ISP. I have to log in
to my webmail about every other week to delete spam caught in their filters
and to check for messages stuck in the 'inbox' It doesn't happen often, but
a few messages seem to get stuck in that inbox and OE fails to download them
until weeks later, so I just check it once a week or two to get them out.
Hope this helps.

If this was a one time event and isn't happening any longer:

There probably aren'/t, but there could be some that have just disappeared.
This sounds like a serious backbone crash somewhere and an bunch of mail got
stuck on some server enroute to yours.
