Board Mail Function

[amerital43]

Can anyone explain how this board's mail function works?? I was trying to message another board member and it got stuck in my outbox. All week I was looking for a reply before I realized it never WENT. So I just tried again and now I have 2 messages stuck! Advice, anyone?

Mail stays in the Outbox folder until the receiver "picks it up" by viewing it. After that, the mail will show in your Sent folder.

Couple of things:

a) not everyone notices when the small message at the top of the screen says they have waiting messages

b) some users turn off the preferences function which alerts them via email when a new PM is waiting
