John, Peter, Rick, and some other colleagues from the office had agreed in person to meet at 4:00 pm to discuss business matters. However, John sent everyone an email informing them that he had rescheduled the meeting to 3:00 pm. Peter, who hadn't received John's email, informed Rick that he had to leave but assured him he would be back in time for the meeting at 4:00 pm. Rick then informed Peter that the meeting had been rescheduled and that he should return before 3:00 pm. Later, during lunch, Rick spoke with John and, among other things, mentioned:
Peter didn't receive your email. He didn't know that the meeting had been rescheduled. If I hadn't told him, he [would be unlikely to]/[wouldn't] join us when it starts at 3:00 pm.
Can either option be used in the mixed conditional that I wrote? I also wonder if the blue tenses "hadn't told" and "starts" work in this context.
