Where's my outbox?

Hello,

I may just be blind and/ stupid, but I cannot find my outbox....

Currently I receive a lot of PMs due to my Sellout thread and I reply to all PMs I get - at leat I hope so - as I cannot see any messages I wrote if the other one in communication does not quote them in reply. When I look for "Sent Items" the list just shows nothing "no messages".... so where, if, can I find the messages I sent?

Best
Dennis

You need to mark it for saving before you send it, unfortunately.

I always mark messages with "Send to my outbox" so they can be preserved, but I don't know where to find them after that. I've never been able to find my Outbox.

Yes, and that is just downright silly.  No one thinks to do that because this is probably the only PM software platform on the entire planet that does not automatically save sent messages (or give you an option to permanently keep them marked "save".)  The vast majority of PMs I have sent over the past many years I do not have for this very reason.

If you send PMs every day, yoou can probably train yourself to check "save".  If you send 3-4 PMs a YEAR (like me), its a lost cause.  ::)

Thanks very much for your input, guys,... I gonna watch out for that save option.

Actually there is an option to automatically save all sent PMs, but you have to activate it.  Go to My Messages > Preferences > Change Settings, and then click the box next to "Save a copy of each personal message in my sent items by default."  And then click the "Change Settings" button.

After going to My Messages, if you hover over or click (depending on your device) "Messages" you get several options including "Sent Items".
