Can one of the admins tell me why my PMs do not leave my Outbox?
Thx.

Re: PMs not sent
I saw in a previous post that outgoing messages stay in your outbox until the recipient opens the message in their inbox. I have an outgoing message that has been there for years. If your recipient has not set up their preferences to receive notices that they have a private message, they may not be aware that they have one waiting for them.

Also AIUI, if the recipients inbox is full the message won't get sent.

No, I can not. But I just cleaned house and have all sorts of room to receive messages. You can test here if you like.retiredsoldier919 wrote:Can one of the admins tell me why my PMs do not leave my Outbox?

Re: PMs not sent
I don't know. It has happened to me once or twice and I did not get a notice. I don't think the forum even tells you when your own inbox is full.dusty wrote:But does the sender not receive notice of that?jsburger wrote:Also AIUI, if the recipients inbox is full the message won't get sent.

Re: PMs not sent
Just looked at my inbox. Message there reads: "Folder is 4% full (2 out of 50 messages stored)" . It is very easy to miss the notification that you have a new message.

Yes, it is easy to miss the notification on the screen.ChrisNeilan wrote:Just looked at my inbox. Message there reads: "Folder is 4% full (2 out of 50 messages stored)" . It is very easy to miss the notification that you have a new message.
If you go into User Control Panel → Board Preferences → Edit Notification Options you can choose to have the board send you an email when you get a PM, or any of several other conditions.
Here is a screen shot. It will probably be laid out a bit differently depending on which screen style you are using.

Re: PMs not sent
Thanks. I hope that is not the way it's setup. Seems an odd way to do things.br549 wrote:I saw in a previous post that outgoing messages stay in your outbox until the recipient opens the message in their inbox.
