    What is the difference between the Sentbox and Outbox?


    When I send out PMs, sometimes they appear in the Sentbox and sometimes they appear in the Outbox.


    What am I missing here? I hope I'm not "saving" the PM instead of actually sending it by mistake. If so.....well....I've got alot of PMs to re-send.

    I believe it depends on whether they have been read or not. Sent but unread messages go to the Outbox and move to the Sentbox when read by the recipient.

    Or so I believe.

    Correct, newer forum software even allows you to delete/edit messages before they're read (whilst still in the outbox)
