tried to send a private message but it's still in my outbox

Post by Carrie »

Hi Tex. I wrote a private e-mail today and thought I'd sent it but it's still in my Outbox. And I don't see any way to send it from there! Can you help?

Love,
Carrie

Hi Carrie - I'm not Tex but I had the same problem awhile back.

The message will stay in your outbox until the recipient picks it up! You are able to edit and/or delete it as long as it remains there also.

Once the recipient picks it up - it will be in your sent box.

Hopes this helps!

Hi Carrie,

That just means that the recipient has not opened it yet.
PMs remain in the sender's outbox until yhey are opened by the addressee, at which time they are transferred to the destination inbox. As long as it is still in your outbox, you can edit it and/or delete it, if you want.

Love,
Wayne

PS Oooooops, sorry Mars. I see we were typing at the same time.
