Sylvester Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Mods, Probably being dumb but... In the Personnal Messages section there is : Inbox - messages sent to me Sentbox - messages I have sent Outbox - what is this please ? I tried to send a PM yesterday and it is sitting in that box and I am not sure if it has been delivered or not. Thanks Quote

Thanks Hi mate, Simplistically, the PM you send sits in your Outbox, until the recipient logs on and reads it. Then it gets moved to your sent items........ So if its still in the Outbox, its been sent but the recipient has not read it yet. Quote
Sylvester Posted August 9, 2006 Author Posted August 9, 2006 Thanks Jacko. Simple! So now all I need is a method to get the person I have sent the message to to log on and look at it ... I know I'll email them! Quote
Liam's Z Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Thanks Jacko. Simple! So now all I need is a method to get the person I have sent the message to to log on and look at it ... I know I'll email them! When you send a pm they should get a alert when they log Quote
Jacko Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Thanks Jacko. Simple! So now all I need is a method to get the person I have sent the message to to log on and look at it ... I know I'll email them! When you send a pm they should get a alert when they log Yes, but I think there has been issues with this with other browsers such as AOL? Not 100% sure on that though..... Quote
Chesterfield Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Yep - and thats the moment that it moves from your outbox - to their inbox, and copied to your sentbox. If you delete the message from your outbox before they log in, then its gone, and they will never get it. Consider the "outbox" as an open plan post room that gives receipts. Once you put it in your outbox, then it sists there waiting for the person to come in and collect it. If you take the letter back before they arrive, then they will never see it. Once they arive, the message moves from your outbox into their inbox, and leaves you a receipt (a copy of the message in your sent items). Consider the outbox a "last chance saloon" just in case you send a message in anger and think better of it a few moments later! LOL. Quote

AndyC Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Consider the outbox a "last chance saloon" just in case you send a message in anger and think better of it a few moments later! LOL. Unless they're already logged on then you're knackered!! Sorry quote edited to trim down space! Quote
Chesterfield Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Yes - if the recipient is logged on at the time of sending, the message will bypass the outbox alltogether. Quote
