Yet your first priority was to point out that there isn’t evidence. Why?
Yeah, since we don’t have access to the emails in question, there’s really no way of knowing what may have been said in them. What I know is that Hill emailed Mearls and only Mearls with evidence of Smith’s harassment of her from an email address she created solely for that purpose and did not give out to anyone else. Then she received further harassment from Smith at that email address. I’m personally inclined to suspect that Mearls confronted Smith about the information in the email, without taking care to insure the metadata from the email was expunged. As likely a result of carelessness (and/or lack of tech-savvy) as malice, if not more so. Regardless, I trust Hill’s account of the events, with or without seeing the emails themselves.
