Here is another thing as mantioned already few times:
  • I sent first a test transaction to my "lost" wallet        and      remember seeing that incoming transaction onto my lost wallet - that is certain!                Because.....

    I remember seeing this transaction as   'Not Veriefied'   all the time (until I lost the wallet)      
    So, I did the transaction and I saw it showing off in my wallet, even though as   'Not Verified', thus I understood it went through and eventually it will confirm.      

    That was the reason  I sent  the funds to the 2nd address in the wallet  because for me it was clear it went through & eventually will be confirmed.
      • Following, many hours have past  and nothing was confirmed, still as 'Not Veriefied",  even though I put the mining fee for confirmation within 5 blocks  (for big transaction within 2)
This is not what I understood from your OP and your posts above. You said you were not able to reach any Electrum server, so how could you be able to watch your incoming transactions into your wallet?  Huh
@Saint-loup
Once you go into the wallet, on the right bottom side you see the Network status in form of a circle.
Green = online
Blue = online routed via proxy
Red = offline
Synchronizing symbol = sync

So, initially I had it on red, which means it was offline.  Then I did something, tried to fix it and so following it went to Synchronizing symbol and all of sudden I could see the      incoming test transaction.   Since then it was there as 'Not Verified'  
   Thus for me it was clear it went through and eventually will be verified, & so I sent the bigger transaction to that wallet.


6. I couldn't see the transaction because I couldn't connect to the servers because it was outdated. Which means I created E_Tails offline

 7. Then I understood that E_Tails is outdated on Tails OS and so I updated it to V. 3.3.8
    And here is where the SH!T starts boiling

1. I've just typed in the seed that was generated   &    recovered that "lost" wallet.  Since there was still no conncetion to the servers...
2. I've updated the Electrum manager/user on Tails to newer version     and then.....

How did you learn your Electrum software was outdated? Did you receive a message/popup on your screen saying that and inviting you to click on a link?

Did you check the signature of the files you've downloaded as suggested by Pooya87 above? If they haven't been modified you can still check their signature.
