Hi Karthik, akka-persistence does not replace but supersede durable mailboxes. That means if one wants to have an Actor that does not loose messages upon being killed then sender must use AtLeastOnce delivery trait (or some other means of durability with akka-persistence or not) to deliver messages to that Actor.
Let me know if that helped.
