I've noticed a few times that I send a PM to someone here that I'll check a day later and it is still sitting in my outbox, not yet moved over to Sent. Eventually it does move over to Sent though. Is this normal for our forum? Does it actually take that long to send a PM to the recipient?

Ah. So Inbox/Outbox/Sent do not work the way they do in email then?

I second mrau on this.
Messages stay in outbox until the person reads it.

It's actually a good feature. You'll know when it gets read or not 😉

The oldest message in my outbox has been there since 2014... and I had one sitting there from 2012 until a couple months ago. 😁
