What's the difference between sent mail and outbox

[Linty Fresh]

Hi, please pardon this basic question, but tonight, I tried to send a PM to someone and it is now in my Outbox instead of Sent Messages. I'm afraid I'm new to the whole message board thing, so I was wondering if this message will be sent automatically or if there's something I need to do to make sure it gets sent.

Thanks.

I believe outbox means it hasn't been read yet. Once the recipient has read it you'll see it in the sent box.
