PMs stuck in Outbox

Stray_Dog · April 11, 2005, 6:26am

I just tried to send some PMs, but most of them are stuck in my Outbox.

How can I send them on their way?

Thanks!

Stray Dog,
unless the way has changed, then they will only leave your outbox once the recipient opens them, but they have received them as so to speak

Oh, I see! I didn’t know that.

Thanks for the prompt response, Traveller!

yes, it’s quite a handy feature actually.

It’s probably what Traveller said, but occasionally I’ve had PMs get really stuck; that is, the intended recipients never received them. I suggest waiting for a while then if they’re still there maybe delete them and write them again.

Got it - thanks!

I think PMs get stuck if you edit them after they had been send already (but are still in the outbox).
