Go to their house and drag them over to their computer to look at their forwardlook messages. Tell them you're just being helpful.

I have one that has been stuck in there since 2013.

Ok, so what's the point of even having this "non" function, function?

It's actually pretty cool because you can edit it before it gets seen, or delete it if you change your mind before it's viewed. It also lets you know definitively whether or not your message was viewed. No other email system gives you those features. But you can't force someone to look at their messages....well not without breaking an undetermined number of laws.

You don't seem to understand. It is sent. It was sent when you submitted it. It just hasn't been seen by the intended recipient yet because he isn't here looking at his messages. It will sit there, until he does bother to show up and look at them.

Have a look at their profile to see if there is a email address, I don't get any notifications I have new mail, so unless I log in to site and check I don't know I have any, see if their email is visible and send them a email instead.

Agree. The other thing is to check the last time they logged in.

I have two "emails" in my outbox.

One of the recipients (Fintail and Son) last logged in on 2022-06-27 8:13 PM so I have some hope. (No email address to try Plan B )

The other (koopster) last logged in on 2015-02-17 2:28 PM so I have little hope (has an email address, which I tried, but never got a reply)
