I am confused: in private messages, what is the difference between Outbox and Sentbox? Responses that I send are ditributed among these two folders seemingly at random. (Anyway, I didn't notice a pattern yet! :D)
Thanks!

Sentbox holds messages that have been read by the recipient already, i believe.

Yes, I think this is indeed so. I sent a test message to myself, and it got transferred from Outbox to Sentbox after I clicked on its copy in the Inbox. (Now, that's what's called "thinking inside the box"! :D) Thanks for clarification, Alex!
