[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1792758, member: 110816"] Traditionally, messages that are yet to be sent will stay in your Drafts folder (or Outbox if your email client has one). Once the email is sent, it is moved to the Sent folder as your record. There are a couple of ways that you can be certain about email delivery. 1) Request a read receipt from the receiver which not only confirms that your email was received but that it was also read. Virtually no-one likes this or sends the receipts back and people frown upon this entirely. 2) You get a delivery failure message either from your mail server or the recipients mail server indicating of a failure. For normal email messages, there is no acknowledgement or guarantee that it reached your recipient. Also, it's possible that you ended up in their junk/spam folder unless you've sent them emails in the past. Each person responds to email at their own pace, if you are corresponding with someone who is quick to answer or acknowledge but hasn't, perhaps you can call them on the phone and check. [/QUOTE]
