Removed Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 wasn't me, but I do know that you can "retract" PMs if the other party hasn't read them yet. So this might be the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, it was retracted less than 3mins after arriving, why?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Pass..:wacko: The process is as follows: 1: Person sends PM. 2: System places message in senders "outbox". 3: System sends email notification to recipient that a PM is waiting 4: System sets PM waiting status for recipient, so when the user logs in, they get the message saying message waiting 5: recipient logs in, message is moved from outbox of sender to inbox of recipient. Between stages 4 and 5, the sender can delete this message out of their "outbox". Either intentionally or unintentionally. If it is deleted, it will not appear in the recipients inbox, but the recipient will get all the messages saying that they have a PM. This has happened before, as people are sometimes "too tidy". They delete messages from their outbox, thinking they are saving space, but actually, those messages are not wasting space, they are just waiting to be delivered. Once the message is delivered, it is automatically removed from the senders outbox. It may be that the person that sent you the message, has just been "too tidy", and deleted the message before you logged in. As it has been deleted, there will be no way of knowing who sent it, or when. Hopefully they may read this and send it again. Hope that helps everyone understand how the PM system works.
