If someone is apologizing over email or sms message, can you accept apology in that form?

The person can call you or come in person but decides to stick to that way.
In person, she won't apologize again so, question is, can you accept apology in that online or sms message form? Is that even an apology?
I am having troubles with that and was always having. It is indeed a proof but when the story goes, do you want me to email you again or forward you that apology in case you say the person didn't apologize, i am having goosebumps.
What do you think?

Apologies are very difficult for some people and under some circumstances. I'm very non-confrontational in personality and while it may seem like a cowardly way to apologize I do understand to a degree and would grant them that and accept the apology. I try to forgive even without an apology because things like that will eat me up from the inside. Holding a grudge hurts me more than it hurts them.

even between family members? i feel it lacks sincerity, true sincerity and in my experience, people continue in their old ways. i agree with you that some people don't like confronting in person but, over email or message, i can't recognise if people are really sorry.

@grenery8 Sincere or insincere. I stopped worrying about that. I find it very difficult to really know that one way or another. At least an effort was made. Mind you forgetting is not something I do well. I'm not likely to let them hurt me again the same way.

@koopharper yes, it is hard to forget how much someone hurts us. you are right, in general way and if we don't involve emotions too much, effort was made. thank you for your words of wisdom.

Apologies are often very hard to make; and maybe it is just easier to do it via email or some other form of message. I would accept an apology that way. Have a good week.
