Some PMs I've sent have failed to arrive or appear in my Sentbox. One this last week (not-sent Sun 24th) to Macros, a couple more 2.5 weeks ago to Totem and Antrax.

Any ideas besides some form of confirmation?

Are they in your outbox?

Nope, sorry.

jeep, when does one's Outbox usually send off PMs? Is there a specified interval, or are there particular times during the day. The reason I ask being that I submitted 2 messages morning, and this evening one had sent and one had not. I was just curious about how long would be too long for a PM to have been in my Inbox.

I think I can answer that, Kelvin. PMs go out from your Outbox when the person the PM is addressed to logs on and receives it. (i.e. a PM sent to someone who rarely logs on will take forever to be delivered) This is unlike email in that the PM doesn't actually get "sent" anywhere; it sits until the addressee "picks it up" from your Outbox.
