Go to your private messages. Then click on the box in the middle where it says "inbox" and you will get a drop down menu. Click on "sent" and you should see all of your sent PM'S.

There is a dropdown box to select "sent" or " recieved" try that. Nevermind Billk beat me to it, plus I used the wrong term.

Yes so when I click on that drop down for messages sent it only shows 2 sent . Are the replies to message different than the sent messages?

I know I’ve had dozens of replies to messages sent to me ,but I can only see what the person wrote to me . I can’t see what I wrote back . Sometimes the messenger will confirm he got my message and that helps .

What are the dates of the two PM messages in your Sent Items? I'm going to hedge a bet here, you deleted Sent Items messages just prior to the date(s) of those two PM messages in your Sent Items. You most likely deleted them by accident.

That's peculiar. You have one PM Sent Item message dated 2013 and one PM Sent Item message dated 2019? Odd/Peculiar.

Go to your Control Panel. On LH side under Settings & Options, click "Edit Options", then under the window pane for "Messages & Notification" in the "Private Messaging" window pane....is Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder selected with a check mark?

Jeff - If that box was 'not' checked, you will not have retained any copies of PM messages you sent. Somehow you disabled that box in the past as the 'default' behavior is that box is enabled (checked).

Jeff - I sent you a PM. You can respond to my PM and it should then show up in your PM Sent Items messages container (drop-down).

Just FWIW, I just finished a long thread of sent/replied to me messages from someone. I always clicked reply to his most recent "sent" message and he did so as well on his end. We ended up with a string of boxes within boxes so long that the wording in the first few messages was in an up/down linear manner on the right side of the margin. Weird but all that stuff has to be justified someplace I guess.

This is why I generally remove (delete) previous PM content from PM messages from the same sender. Too many quoted replies (retention) of previous PM messages ends up crowding page messages & pages can handle only so many characters until they have to truncate as the result of having to be contained w/in the fixed fields of the page margins.

I have sent two PM to a member and have had no reply which I know he is not the problem. I check my sent folder and the messages are not there. What the heck is going on?
