PM problem?

No, I don't live in a country with a pariliamenterian system anymore where my Prime minister could be corrupt so that's not the sort of problems i have but it took me about fifteen tries before my PM would go through. It kept saying mailbox server was busy at 6 in the morning. This is counting in the wait time between posts and all.
It was a strange "The Mailbox server is busy" and then some junk about trying again. I should have probably copied the line or two error text. But it's 6 in the morning and I'm not really awake yet.

Typically when you get that message, the PM goes through. The error arises after the PM has been sent and the system goes to send an e-mail notification to the user. The error also pops up on occasion when you make a post, if somebody has subscribed to the thread and requested e-mail notifications of new posts.
However, the error itself shouldn't happen. So I'll look into it to see what's going on. Thanks for letting us know.

Well, to adopt an expression from my the homestate of my last six years, don't I have a shit-eating grin now. I hope the receiver of my PM doesn't have 15 identical PMs.

He/she likely will. *shrug*

So, I tried to send PR a PM yesterday; i'm not sure it went through. It has been put in my "outbox" rather than my "sentbox," whatever the distinction is, and nothing I try will move it to the sentbox with my other sent messages.

Yeah... I don't get the outbox/sentbox thing. Sometimes, the PM sits in the outbox for a couple of days, and other times, it doesn't.
It might have something to do with your next posting time... I really don't know, but it's annoying.

AFAIK, Outbox contains not-yet-read messages; they seem to go to Sentbox upon being read.

I believe that's correct.
