sentbox / outbox in pm's

[jsealc21]

what is the difference...? confused

[David Levene]

I may well be wrong but I always thought that:-

Outbox = Not yet delivered/read
Sentbox = Delivered/read

[jsealc21]

then why ,when you click on "submit" ,do they end up in the outbox,and not get sent? Or,...how do you get them from the outbox to the sentbox ?

[David Levene]

Once again, if I understand it correctly, the transfer gets done automatically when the recipient has read the message.

[jsealc21]

my apologies , David. When you mentioned "delivered" , I thought that meant "on the way",not waiting to be read, or stuck in some electronic logjam....... thankyou

[David Levene]

But I could be wrong

[Shin]

Sentbox has actually been sent and received (read) by the recipient
Outbox has been sent but has not yet been read by the recipient.
