My messages are not being sent out.

[Gemrod]

Rtidd,

I have 5 messages in my "Outbox" ....well now that I sent you one......I have SIX messages residing in my OUTBOX. They do not appear in my "SENT" box. The last message my sent box shows went out Mar 31. I am trying to purchase two rods and a reel and I don't think my messages are being sent out. How do I get the messages in my "Outbox" to be sent....my Outbox to say messages ZERO...and these messages to appear in my Sent box?

Dear Gemrod,

I'm fairly certain that a message remains in your outbox until the intended recipient logs in and reads it. It's not so much an "outbox" as it is a "sent and unread" box. Once it is read it moves to your sent box. I visit another message board that uses the same formatting program and that is how it works on that board.

Best Wishes,
Avalon

Thanks Avalon. That is a good explanation. I believe you are correct. And that helps me a lot. What I miss is the ability to click on "sent and not read" because it tells me for sure the intended victim didn't get or read my message yet. That is exackery what I want. I am quite pleased to know that is how the outbox works. I can even tell that now....by reviewing my out box messages....and when and where they were sent.

Thanks for the information.
