Difference in sentbox and outbox

Post by sidroski on Thu Mar 25, 2010 8:23 pm

Educate me on this. Most times I answer and it goes in sentbox but every once in a while it goes in outbox. Hadn't seen a rhyme nor reason, just wondering.

If it is in the sent box it has been read by the recipient. If it is sitting in your out box it has NOT been read by the recipient.

Not sure. But when you hit the send button, messages sit in your out box until they are actually transmitted to the mail server.

Then they move over to your sent box.

If you have emails hanging around in your out box, it typically means that you are having trouble connecting to the mail server. Or the mail server is overloaded for the moment.

Thanks, couldn't figure out a pattern, some got out of my outbox quick and got one that was sitting.

I have a bunch sitting in the outbox for months at a time ... they are all addressed to Newly registered members .... who have no logged back on or who have not check their messages .... it sits in the outbox until read.
