Hi mates, this is a silly question for which I would appreciate a smart answer
Why "some" PM keep appearing in the
Outbox even after they were sent?
Moreover those messages do not appear in the "
Sent Messages" box even though they were sent as indicated by the "Sent date"
Is there anyway to remove them from the
Outbox? My OCD is complaining...
Regards

I've seen the same thing. I think it may be a PHPBB bug, but I haven't researched it.

Thanks Richard, just to confirm did you receive the PM I sent you a few minutes ago? Is one of those appearing in my "Outbox"
Regards

If I understand PHPBB operations, a private message that you send goes into the outbox until the recipient opens it. Once it is read by the recipient, it gets listed in your sent items.

@SparkOut, it is as you say! I can confirm that the PM I sent to Richard went from the Outbox to the Sent when he opened it.
Many thanks for the explanation. My OCD can rest now...
