Not seeing my "sent messages". Please help.

[Wedge1]

Hello moderators, staff

I am unable to see my sent messages in the PM's. Please help with this issue.

Thanks,
Wedge1

You have to enable it in your settings.

Given that people never learn how to comprehend here :hmm:, maybe the save should be on by default.

Making it the default setting has been suggested in the past but never any action taken.
I guess its just too much effort to do it.

Then we'd get threads like this repeatedly asking how to stop it or turn it off.

Only when their PM box is full.

Much less than the other option.

I agree. It was a while before I noticed sent messages weren't being saved, especially since there was a Sent drop down. I, like everyone else, never noticed until I needed to look back for a sent message.

I don't think you'll get any/many postings asking "how do i delete my PM's?".

Oh please. Personally, when I send an email, the LAST place I want it to be is in my "sent" folder. I write a filter that moves anything FROM:ME to TRASH.

they wouldn't.
Also, it would be pretty simple to only keep the most recent 20 or 100 or so sent PM's.
