Outbox: message went into 'Outbox', not 'Sent Messages'...?

[Goistein]

I tried to send a message to someone, but it went to the outbox instead of the sent messages? So what's an outbox?

Re: Outbox

Pretty sure a message stays in your outbox until the recipient opens it.

So it actually did get sent?

Yes - when the recipient reads it, it'll be gone from your outbox and appear in your sent mail folder. If you still see it in your 'outbox' then the recipient has yet to read it.
