I regularly have issues with PM's getting stuck in the OUTBOX folder for days on end.
Is it just me being dumb and forgetting to do something or do other people experience the same problem?
Thanks
Tony

Re: Forum PM system
Fairly sure it stays in your outbox until the recipient reads it.

Re: Forum PM system
Yep - as above. Messages only move on from the Outbox once they’ve been opened at the other end

Re: Forum PM system
Further to this, if you send a PM to multiple recipients it stays in the outbox folder until one person has read it. Unfortunately, there is no way to know which person has read it until or unless they acknowledge and reply.
