Are messages meant to be stuck in my outbox?

That's normal. There is an error in sending PMs, but they still fire just fine from what I can see.

So does it go to the outbox first and then to sent?

I just read 2 posts over at the phpBB community forums,
  1. PM's stuck in Outbox??? - https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=841175
  2. Private Messages staying in outbox - https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2458131

...and I just don't know why it can't use the same context as an email system uses for it's outbox. I also came across this definition:
outbox - Computer Definition
See inbox.
The English language is full of surprises :laughing5: which led me to thinking about this line from Babylon 5

Well you're right, on a mail client the OUTBOX is usually for sent items. But on Phpbb and most forums, it's for YET TO BE SENT items. :) It's been that way since the beginning.
