2 days ago I sent bitcoins from electrum version 2.5.4, but I didn't include a large enough fee so it sat unconfirmed both in electrum and on blockchain.  I learned my lesson there  ;)  

After about 24 hours when I opened electrum the bitcoins reappeared in my wallet and the transaction was removed from history.    

What's confusing is I checked blockchain.info the transaction was and is still showing unconfirmed.  So I switched to another electrum server on a whim, and after syncing, the transaction reappeared and the bitcoins were gone from my balance and showing as unconfirmed again in electrum.  

Why does the server I used to send show bitcoins returned to my wallet but other servers that I didn't use to send show bitcoins as missing and unconfirmed?  
Why didn't the blockchain remove the transaction?
And have the bitcoins been returned and I can send them again to same or different bitcoin address?

Hi, it's a pretty strange situation.
I can see it in blockchain.info, says it's supposed to confirm 6 blocks from now (which I don't believe), I don't see it on blockr.io AND here, there's some pretty weird info:

Incoherence in levelDB detected: Input spent not registered

I don't know what that means, perhaps somebody else could help with that?

But anyway, what you could try to do is connect to a server that doesn't have the transaction registered (I believe it's that, they never got it, it's not that they sent it back) and send it with a high fee (fixed, not dynamic, at 0.0005 per KB).

That COULD make a miner get it into a block and the other one will eventually be discarded.
