In the time lapse between a person sending an email message, and the recipient receiving and/or reading it, does the message exist at all? If so, where?

The message was created by the writer and therefore came into existence. Simply by knowing you wrote it, it exists but only for you unless you tell the recipient that you have sent it. An which case it only exists in the abstract as the recipient has no knowledge of what exactly is in the message until they get it. It then must wait until the recipient gets it to have a complete existence as a message as it has been created and recieved.

Well It is under transmission , in the pipeline and in the main server and also if you have saved it SENT folder bit remains there too.Otherwise in case of bouncing back how can it be back in full text.

Only if you can hear it.
It's all in the head, anyway.
