How long does it normally take for a PM to appear in your "sent" box?
I have tried to send a PM twice today and several hours later, it has yet to make an appearance in my sent box.

BTW I DID give it a title!

They only go into the sent box once they have been read at the other end, they should still be in the outbox.

Hi Tony

As roboughton rightly says they stay in your outbox ( and the recipient's inbox) until they are read by the recipient ..and then exactly 3.33564095 nanoseconds* later they will be found in your sentbox Wink

....but you will need to refresh the screen to see this happen Laughing

I find this truly amazing ... if email worked like this it would be so much better.... no more "sorry we did not get your message" or "sorry your message was read too late to do anything about it".... mind you if you do not want the sender to know you are about and online you will have to resist the temptation to open that PM that is sitting in your inbox Laughing

* if you have a dial up connection do allow a little longer Laughing

Thanks Guys, I found it in my outbox and thought that it had not gone! So I sent it again! The other person will probably get fed up with me sending duplicate messages now.

Hi Tony

If both messages are still in your outbox, simply delete one of them. Wink
