question about outbox

Hey guys!
Ive got a question about the outbox thingy in our PM system. What is it? theres sent mail, yes, but what's outbox? Normally, it's what is being sent atm, but i have a message that im trying to send stuck in the outbox for about 10 minutes! just a few words.

any explanation.

Ive seen this before, and it does get sent at some point, but why so long?

The outbox is the place to find all the messages that you sent to some body before he open it(after that is not going to be there any more), in your case you don't have to care it because it is already gone but the guy didn't not open it yet.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.................... its not like how it works with gmail.

Not the same way.

Actually.....I'm in concurrence with bobzwik, I have felt like I sent responses several times to someone because they were always in the "OUTBOX"

Once sent, they should be in the .....oh......let me think......oh yeah....the "SENT" box.
