Outbox won't empty

Postby IronMike » Sun Dec 24, 2017 6:43 pm

I've replied to two forum members and wrote a PM to another one, and yet my Outbox won't "empty." It has been showing the number 3 next to it for many minutes now.

I've chosen each of the messages to see if I'm missing smthg, like a button or a big, bright SEND, but nada.

What am I missing?

The outbox only empties when all messages are read (and moved to sent items) :)

Message stuck in outbox

Postby Call-Me-Captain » Mon Jan 15, 2018 5:26 pm

Hi!

I was wondering how exactly the Outbox/Sent messages system works? I sent a P.M. yesterday, but just noticed that it is still stuck in my Outbox, and didn't go to the Sent Messages folder. I assume that the message hasn't been sent, then?

Thanks!

Messages only get moved to sent once they've been read by the recipient.

Ooh, that explains it. Thank you for the explanation! I thought I had done something wrong and that's why it was in the outbox.
