Email/Msg System Loosing Mail [Sat May 11th-Sun 12th anyone?]

Post by GlovedYankee »

Good Afternoon,

Twice over the last few days, I have sent messages and I went to refer to them this morning before I sent another and see they are nowhere to be found?

Anyone else missing Private Messages from this weekend?

It's weird, I know I sent a message late Friday night and then another Sunday morning. I do not see them on my mailbox or sent messages. What's going on?

<update...I just sent a test message and it shows in my outbox as a message and that it was sent to the recipient but, not in my sent mail. Does that make a difference? As I recall I look to see that it shows accepted, as I sent an email to myself by accident last week.

Thanks,

GY

Outbox means the user hasn't opened their inbox yet, so it is not considered Sent yet by the system.

Are all your problems solved now?

Submitting posts and msg can sometimes fall away when the server forum loses connection.

As far as I know, yes. I had some earlier issues that were my own fault so I try to be careful of what I send and how I send.

There isn't any way for you to see things I've sent is there? I'm sure there isn't, but figured id ask.

TY!

We don't have the PM Spy mod installed or anything similar,
but I will try to inspect the database manually.

Yeah I advised that before to a Diva to compose intricate posts somewhere else to not sorta "memory hole" them.

Wait, just to be clear: are we talking about emails or private messages?
