Private Messages question - special - 06-28-2025

I cannot seem to find a way with "Sent messages". Are those saved anywhere? I can see a way to track a message to see if ti was read or not, but I cannot read it. getting old sucks, I sometimes forgot what I wrote.

Also, can someone please send me a private message? I want to make sure it works. Thanks

You have to select “save a copy” or something like that, when you send a PM, then it will be stored in your “sent” folder.
Also, check that you checked to be notified when you receive a PM, in your control panel.

I tried to send you a PM, but it says you have Private Messages disabled.

Also, my PM area does not have a Sent Items folder.
My “New” registration did have a Sent Items folder.
Even if I create a Sent Items folder it will not save a sent message, even when the save a copy is checked.
The only way to save a copy of a sent PM is to search for the PM with a key word and then move it manually to the created Sent Its folder.
It has to be saving it somewhere, since I can search by key word and find it, but it won’t save to the created Sent Items folder.

Such a weird glitch. Lol

Good catch. I enabled it. can you please try again? Thanks

The option is checked, but indeed there is no "Sent Items" folder anywhere.

Thanks for confirming that. 
I think it’s somehow connected to our old account names, since with my “New” account there is one. 
Very odd indeed
