Difference between "sent box and "out box".

I thought I had sent a private message to someone, but when I went to check it was not in my "sent" box but lurking in my "out" box. What's the difference and how can I now send the message?

Hi Hisoka,

No need to re-send, the message will stay in your "outbox" until the recipient checks their messages, and then it will show up in your "sent" box.

This is a function of the forum software and is helpful sometimes, if you change your mind about sending someone a message. You can delete it from your "outbox" as long as it hasn't downloaded to their inbox.

cheers,
