Validity of sent email after other party closes the email account

Respected Sir/Madam.

There’s an agreement registered between me and other party where it’s clearly mentioned that any communication can be made on respective other party’s email id and those email id is mentioned in the agreement.

Now I notice that other party has closed their email account and mails sent to that id bounce back.

I have retried 2 - 3 times to confirm that destination server rejected the email id of recipient.

Is the email document held in sent items folder + bounced notice still a valid correspondence?

It is incomplete and improper service of notice, which is invalid for filing case. You are required to send the notice through some other mode such as registered post, speed post, courier, WhatsApp etc.

As the other party deleted his account and did not provide the proper id, which is against the agreement. So send a legal notice through RP by ad or sppedpost etc.

The email mode of communication is an alternative mode only, you should adopt the regular mode of correspondence to address your concern, i.e., by sending the legal notice through registered post or speed post, if that is returned undelivered then only you can resort to the email mode of issuing the legal notice.

Therefore without complicating the issue, you may act at once as per the correct provisions of law, if at all you are really serious about getting solution to your problem.
