…in the message section why do some messages go the sent box and others go to the outbox? are messages sitting in the outbox waiting to be sent? what are they waiting for???

When a message sits in the sender's outbox, it just means the recipient hasn't accessed the message yet. Once he/she clicks on it to read it, the message then goes into the sender's sentbox. By the way, messages pending in the outbox can be still be edited.

water rat, was that a joke? it's so hard to tell sometimes with 2-dimensional conversation.
