until now

John: Have you sent me the confirmation e-mail?

Amy: Yes, I sent it yesterday noon.

John: Something must be wrong. Until now, I haven't received it.

Is it possible to use 'until now' in this context to stress the frustrating long wait? Or has it changed the meaning of the sentence to that the e-mail has just been received.

Thanks!
