outboxes and emails

Hi all

I saw Adam's post earlier (now deleted as he requested) and it got me thinking about checking my messages. I have a message in my outbox I thought I had sent. Does this mean the intended recipient's inbox is full?

Yours, a decidedly non techie Biggles (thinking maybe carbs not injection for my build!!)

Yes i believe if it is still showing in your outbox then it means the recipients inbox is full.

Im happy to be corrected on this though.

If you send a PM, it sits in your outbox until the recipient logs in and goes to read it, it should disappear from your outbox.

However, as spotted, if the recipients inbox is full it will then sit there for ever.

I'll raise the inbox limit, but inevitably ,however many messages it is set to allow, is people always hit the max limit and the same problem occurs so deleting some of the old messages is probably the best approach.
