However, I don't know what the airline has to do to show they have 'contacted' you. If it's the case that they emailed you, but it went to spam, I've no idea whether they can claim that was enough effort.
Hi, thanks! I don't think it went to spam as I did receive all their other communication...

Send God a bill for the bad weather.

I don't think the air carriers owe you anything.
In the EU, passengers have rights.
And leaving our luggage in Frankfurt was the fault of the airline.

Brussels Airlines owes you 250 euros per passenger for the cancelled flight. There is no may about it. It is also down to the airline to prove they informed you of the cancellation.
Thanks!
