sent PMs not being saved

[sqznby]

I have noticed all of my incoming PMs are being saved in my "in box" but, my sent messages are not being saved.
Where are all of my outgoing PMs?
How do I get them back or are they lost?

Any help would be appreciated

User CP => Edit Options => scroll down to "Messaging and Notification" => Check the box next to "Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default", which is the last one in this category.

This won't get the old ones back, but future PMs will be saved.

As already noted, you have to change a setting to save sent messages. It's kind of silly that saving them isn't the default, but that's just the way it is.

510ebl,

Thank you very much, I appreciate the help.

Do you happen to know if it's possible to find the recently sent PMs or, are they lost forever?

Thanks again



I agree SMKS, this is a first for me. But, like you said "that's the way it is.

 

[SMKS]

I don't think you can recover them. I think they're gone for good.

 

[sqznby]

That's what I figured, hah. Oh well.

Thanks for the help

The person who received them will have them. If it's something you want they could copy/paste it and send it back to you.

Ahh, very true.
Thanks

You are welcome!

As noted, other than POSSIBLY an administrator recovering the PMs for you, the recipients would be your best bets.

Ok, great.
I'll go through them and see what I can do.
I'll also try getting in touch with an admin, and see what he/she says.

Thanks again

All the above should help you. It is in the settings. If you still need help go to the bottom of the page and click on Mod.
