Anyone Having Problems Sending PM's??

Post by mindflipper » Aug Thu 22, 2013 7:23 pm

I discovered tonight that a PM I sent somebody back on 8/14/2013 was never sent - instead, it's still sitting in the OUTBOX waiting to be sent. Has anyone else been having this problem? :evil:

I don't use the PM function here very much. Are you sure you didn't cut your connection before it was sent? Or your outbox isn't full? (Which it shouldn't be...)
Very frustrating either way!

Turns out the SENT box can be full and therefore will not send a PM. However, it will NOT give you any error message to let you know the PM was NOT sent because the SENT box was full. So it is up to everyone to check periodically the SENT box and delete PM's they sent if they wish to continue sending PM's. You think it could automatically delete old ones, but it doesn't seem to have that ability...

That's odd. I really didn't think the sent box would get full ~ you would think it would send and that would be that! Hope you are still able to reach whomever you were trying to reach now that you know!

Well, I've deleted down my SENT box to 20% full and just tried send a test PM to Len90 and it's stuck in my OUTBOX. So, maybe that wasn't the problem??

UPDATE: Len90 did get my test message, so the system is working. So PM's can be held not only if the INBOX of the recipient is 100% full, but can also be held up if the sender's SENT folder/box is also 100% full. So here's a suggestion to everyone: delete down the old messages in your SENT folder/box so this won't happen to you.

Thanks for the tips mindflipper. My boxes are pretty full here as they don't have a very big limit. Anyone that needs to reach me is better off trying my regular email or a Facebook message. I just don't think to check for messages on here...luckily I don't get very many any more anyhow...

I've cleared out my sent box and tried resending a PM to rdeacon, subsonic and js. It is still sitting in my outbox.

I don't use the mail here often ~ have you tried popping into chat? I know you can generally find one or two of them in there...

I still cannot get PMs to go anywhere. They sit in my outbox.

Receiving isn't an issue, Amy. I got yours. My reply is still in the outbox. Let me know if you receive it anyway.

I did actually ~ logged on tonight and it was sent a little after 2 this afternoon. Not sure what the problem could be then :(
