Sending private messages

Post by Deane Clark »

This week I tried sending two private messages to someone, and those messages seemed to be sent fine, but afterward they were still in my outbox. If an error occurs, could it be hidden for some reason? Like if someone's email address in their profile was no longer valid maybe? I never did get a response from the person even when I sent a normal email to the address in his profile.

From what I understand, they stay in your Outbox until the recipient reads them.

Ron is correct.

It will stay in your outbox until the person logs in and read the message. If their eMail address is no longer valid, it would just mean that they may not get a notification of the PM if they have that setting turned on. But the message is still there, waiting for them to login and read.
