I am glad to hear that you received the e-mail safely?
My colleague wrote this in replying a client saying she didin't receive one but finally did.
I thought it a bit strange to use "safely" in this occasion. What I reckon, "safe" is more for physical issues, i.e., "I arrived in Germany, safely", "Walking on that street in midnight is not safe."
Is it ok to use "safe" like this?

Answer

I would agree that 'safely' is a bit odd in this context.
