Can an email be delivered but not reach the inbox?
Yes. Delivery only confirms acceptance. The message may still land in spam, promotions, social, or any other tab. Inbox placement is entirely separate from delivery.
Mailbox providers decide placement based on engagement, content, authentication, and sender reputation.
