You shouldn't rely on paypal's email anyway.

Use their instant notification API https://paypal.com/ipn to have it trigger a script on your server to notify you any way you'd like.

You get more info from the api too and it's triggered before emails.

The article is about an investigation into why outlook was taking a long time to open paypal emails.

It is not related to relying on paypal's email for payment processing.
