Sergeantpepper 写道:xiaolu 写道:Sergeantpepper 写道:I have replied to your PM dated "Sun Jul 13, 2014 2:55 pm", in fact repeated 3 times..
But those 4 replies only showed up in my "OUT BOX", nowhere in the "Sent Messages"..
Was wondering if the message has actually reached your end, thanks

I believe the messages (that are still sitting in your OUTBOX) already got delivered.
Thanks for the advice.
Well, my experience with "Outlook Express" is: those in the OUT BOX are not sent for a reason... that's why I kept resending
Seriously, what is the status difference between "OUT BOX" & "Sent Messages"?...some previous PM I sent here would show up in the "Sent Message" immediately, I always check to make sure the PM is actually sent..
Yes, I completely understand your point. And yes, there might be some issue with this PM system with this phpBB message board. I mean usually (or with common sense:-) when a message is sent, it'd show up in "Sent" box immediately (instead of sitting in the "Out" box for even quite some time). But my guess of the issue (if there is an issue at all) is:
The message is already sent out, but it will be kept in "Out" box until the recipient opens (reads) the message, and/or
It may take some time for the database update to 'take effect' after message is already sent out
Thanx!:-)
