PMs Staying in the Outbox

Postby DNA » Thu Mar 15, 2018 4:55 pm

I have generated a couple of PMs, and they just stay in the Outbox folder, but never make it to the Sent folder. Is there a problem with the system, or with the recipient email address?

DNA,

The Director is on a 'Leave of Absence' however; I do have access. Gimme a chance and I'll see if I can muddle through troubleshooting this issue.

One thing to double check, because I ran into this once. If the receiver never reads/opens it, it stays in the outbox. It moves to the sent folder if they've read it.

I sent someone a PM once who had gone MIA from BTM, and I think it's still sitting there. I know they never got it/read it because they haven't logged into the the forums ever since.

Thank you Loremaster for that insight. That may be just the case.

Historian, my response was to the Deputy Director, but I can see where I caused confusion.

The Loremaster is correct... PMs stay in the Outbox until the recipient reads them. I am getting your PMs, DNA, and have responded.

I just happened to be browsing this morning (lurking mostly).

The other thing, is you do need to perodicially clear out old PMs, there is a hard limit on each user account, I don't recall the number off hand.
