I’ve been having issues with my email. Today, an interviewer asked for my availability, and I responded to everyone on the chain, but it seems to may or may not have sent (email never made it to my sent box, but I received an automatic response from someone on the email chain). Basically, I have no idea id everyone got it.
Would it be ok to resend just explaining the email may have bounced?
If I was the interviewer I'd be annoyed that you replied to my direct question by including everyone on the chain. Getting the reply twice would just confirm to me that you're incompetent.

Well there were three people on the chain because they were also going to interview me and assumed they also needed my availability.

How was the request phrased? Did he say "let us know" or "let me know"?
Is there any reason to think that resending the reply would have a different result? If one of them got it, they all got it. Email servers don't randomly decide to send to just some of the recipients.
If I were to resend it I would simply resend it and not mention email issues. I'm not saying that there are not ever email issues but it seems to me that it's always the same set of people that always have issues with their internet connection, or not getting an email, or having trouble logging in, or some other computer issue. I wouldn't want to work with a techno-idiot and I wouldn't want to appear as one.
I'd probably re-send with a brief mention of a possible email glitch. Do you want to do nothing and hope for the best?

Hey. The email was phrases as “we”. It said “we” would prefer the interviews, etc.
I did some research on the issue, and the email server I have used seems to have this issue. I guess rhe alternative was to hope for the best that everyone got it.
I guess it was either look like a techno idiot, or just hope everyone got the email, but there was a chance they didn’t based on what I’ve read on the issue.
Seemed like either choice wasn’t really the best one :/
I would just preface it with "apologies if this is a duplicate email." It happens.
