The message section of the forum contains an Inbox, Outbox and Sent Messages.

What is the difference between the Outbox and Sent Messages? I have, as far as I know, sent out a message to a forum member but the message seems to be remaining in my Outbox. I would have expected that it would have migrated to my Sent Messages.

Initially I thought that it may remain in the Outbox for a while because the forum might send out all queued messages at certain intervals but my message has remained in the Outbox for more than a day now.

I am doing something wrong?

Hmm .. all my PMs sent are in "Sent Messages". Would it be possible that "Outbox" holds unread PMs?

I don't think so because:

1) It is called "Outbox".

and

2) I seem my last PM in it.

I meant PMs you sent but that are not read yet by the recipient.

I come to this conclusion since all the PMs I sent are in the Sent Messages-folder and the Outbox is empty.

the assumption is correct. I have it regularly that messages remain 'stuck' in my outbox for days as the recipient does not log in for that period. Note that as long as a message is in your outbox you can edit it!

Okay...I see...So when I send a PM it goes to the Outbox and will remain in the Outbox until the person to whom the PM was sent reads the message. Correct?

Good to know. Thanks.

not sure, either that OR simply logs in.
