Skype is well known to have delays in messages. It's still a free system with several million users, and has main networks in Europe, which is decentralized to some. Sometimes skype has problems displaying messages immediately, colloquially called 'lag'. Although 1 day is a lot, it is not unheard of. If there is a lot of information passing through the skype servers during peak hours, it is prioritized. Good luck. There are several great alternatives available, including MSN, AOL and Yahoo IM.
