What happens if I receive an email whilst my droplet is down?

Posted on March 13, 2014

Sorry if this is a bit of a stupid question, but I was wondering what would happen if my droplet was powered down and I receive some emails.

Would I simply never see that email?

I am using Roundcube web mail on a zPanel installation on Ubuntu.
