Outbox vs. Sentbox

I PMed all my roles out for Mini Game 7, and all of the PMs went in my sentbox, except for two. Those two went in my outbox. What is the difference? (Although it could be a coincidence, those two haven't confirmed yet.)

It's not a coincidence. When you send the message, your message is placed in the outbox. When the recipient reads the message, the message is moved from your outbox to your sentbox. So a message being in your sentbox is much like receiving a Read Receipt. If you delete a message in your outbox, it will also be deleted from the recipients inbox (I think).

I don't think so, because the other 10 messages went into my sentbox as soon as I sent them. Before they could possibly have been read. And also, some of those 10 haven't confirmed.

Hmm. That's how it has worked for me, so far. Possibly, there is a limit to how much you may have in your outbox at any one time, and if you exceed it, the remainder is moved to your sentbox. Were the two in your outbox by any chance the last two you sent? Or first two?

Never mind, I think you're right and I was just reading it wrong earlier.

I'm convinced he's right too. I tested his first post in this topic and it turned out exactly.
And there'd be nothing extraordinary if two people of the 12 players were online, had the 'alert me' checked and thus read the PM quite that soon...
