quick question RE: pm's

Hey all!
I pm'd somebody about a month ago, and it was in my outbox. I know that when somebody reads the PM- it moves to my sent box. For some reason, my PM to another poster here has disapeared from my outbox, but has NOT apeared in my sent box- what does this mean?

thanks!

This happened to me recently too

.
Haven't got a clue what it means.
Are unread PMs only kept so long before they're binned?

In any case,this is goin over to Site Feedback

That PM was most likely not read and just deleted.
And, there is some code in the forum software that overwrites the oldest message in the inbox, if the limits are reached.

That solves it, then.
Thanks P.!
