Description

Currently, when incoming mails from AnonAddy fail to reach the user's mail server, they are silently discarded by AnonAddy. This behavior causes frustration, especially with crucial emails like invoices. It's unnecessary as AnonAddy has successfully received these emails. The proposal is to implement a feature where undelivered mails are not dropped but made available for download via the UI interface (refer to the attached screenshot).

Reasoning

This change is essential to prevent the loss of important emails due to rejection by mail providers. By preserving undelivered emails within AnonAddy's system, users can retrieve them manually in case of delivery errors, ensuring no loss of crucial information.

Proposed Solution

Upon encountering delivery issues to the user's mail server, AnonAddy should store these mails securely within the system and provide users with an interface to download these undelivered mails from the UI. This approach enhances user experience and safeguards against potential data loss.
