I have sent several PM's but when I go to sent items it shows 0 Sent, 3 Stored Items. Can anyone tell me if I did something wrong or if the Messages were actually sent? Also, I can't access the 3 Messages that it shows as stored. Thanks
Go to the Settings link on the top of the screen, select General Settings on the left, then scroll down to find the 'Sent Private Messages:' setting. The 'Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default' setting should be selected to save sent messages.
'Don't save a copy of sent messages' may be the default...
No reason storing messages in the database which will not be read again by anyone. But if someones sending something important then they have the option to keep it. Saves a lot of space this way.
