Clarification of PM system please

Post by dszpiro »

Hi,

Can someone please explain how this board's software handles PM's? It seems to me that PM I compose sit in my "Outbox" for some time before being sent. I believe this is the case even when the addressee is on-line.

Does the software wait and handle all PM's as a batch at some fixed interval? Is there always a delay in sending PM's so that the sender has a chance to delete it before is actually goes out?

TIA,
Danny

The PM will sit in your Outbox until the reader reads it. Once the reader reads the PM, it will move to your Sent box.

Simple as that.

Thanks Johnnie!

I guess that means that when I send a note it stays in the Outbox even though it is actually sent but not yet read by the addressee. The note moves to the Sentbox not when it is sent, but when it is read by the addressee. Similarly, any note I receive appears in my Inbox even before I have read it. It also stays in my Inbox after I read it, but only then does the sender see that the note has been sent to me because that note moves from his Outbox to his Sentbox.

Got it. Crystal. :wink:
