Thanks for weighing in.

Thanks for your guidance.

Re: Why PM messages are stuck in outbox ?
PM will remain in your outbox until it is read by recipient, at which time it "moves" to "sent".
Yes, a bit confusing.

You can't "send" it further - it has to be "picked up" by the recipient (then it will move to your "sent messages" box
Re: Why PM messages are stuck in outbox ?
Would make more sense if it was called "read" instead of outbox. Normally if something is in the outbox, it means it hasn't been sent.ResearchMed wrote: ↑Tue Apr 13, 2021 4:21 pmPM will remain in your outbox until it is read by recipient, at which time it "moves" to "sent".

Re: Why PM messages are stuck in outbox ?
Probably, but I didn't write the software. It's a common question that I put in the wiki: Was my private message read?
A Private Message (PM) stays in the "Outbox" folder until it is read by the recipient.

By "read" did you mean reed or red?rich126 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 13, 2021 4:28 pmWould make more sense if it was called "read" instead of outbox.

Private Message Confusion with Outbox / Sent Messages
[Thread merged into here --admin LadyGeek]
Hoping for clarification on the Forum's Private Messages.
I just sent some messages tonight and they are all in Outbox. There are now 5 of them there. There are a lot of messages in Sent Messages.
Makes it unclear whether or not the messages I sent tonight actually were sent as intuitively you'd think you'd be seeing them in Sent Messages and those in Outbox are waiting to be sent.

Messages stay in the "Outbox" until the recipient reads them. THEN they move to the "Sent" box.
Yes, a bit strange until one "knows"...
