Are private messages still working?
I replied to a received message and found out my reply automatically went to outbox, and cannot be found as "sent messages".
Please let me know. Thanks.

Usually PMs go to the outbox until read.
OP, I just sent you a PM.
Did you get it?

It stays in the outbox until the recipient reads it, this is normal.

That's the way it works with phpBB Forum Software.
From phpBB User Guide - Message Folders
This comes up periodically, and I've previously answered it this way.phpBB User Guide wrote:SENT MESSAGES will appear in either the OUTBOX or the SENT MESSAGES folder. As long as the recipient(s) have not yet read the message, it will stay in the OUTBOX. As soon as someone reads the message it will be archived to the SENT MESSAGES folder. If the administrator allows it, you can edit messages after sending them as long as they are in the OUTBOX and the recipients have not yet read them.
