Private messages: Outbox vs sent messages?

[timmiej93]

Hi all,

I'm wondering what the difference is between the Outbox and the Sent messages for private messages on the forum. I recently sent a PM to somebody, but the message is still in the outbox. For an email client, that would mean that it has't been sent yet. So what is the difference between the outbox and the sent messages here on the forum?

The ones in outbox are not read by the recipient. As soon as it's read, it shows up in the sent folder.

I figured it must be something like that. Thanks for clarifying.
