How do we find our outbox for private messages we sent?

Is there an outbox? For me, conversations look like threads, with your posts in line with everyone else's.

In the upper right corner of the forum window. It looks like a little snail-mail letter envelope. It serves as both an Inbox and an Out/Sent box.

Part of the Physics Forums header showing MY PF, a mail envelope icon with a red badge, a bell icon, and SEARCH, with a Hot Threads sidebar below listing 'Problems with LATEX while posting a question'.
 
Not owl?
Never mind, previous decade.

I ask without trying to makes jokes.

So we have no OutBox for our private messages?

That's the slot on the back of the OutHouse. :wink:

sorry, just couldn't resist That one
 
I just filter on messages started by 'me' in the private message forum. It's a bit clunky, but it works.
 
Maybe I found a way to see what I ask, but maybe it is not exactly the same as an OutBox. Based almost on #9 post,

  1. Right-click on the "Mail" icon
  2. Open a /in a new tab
  3. View the highlighted display of the Inbox
  4. Find or see toward the right hand side, the blue bar with the word, Filters
  5. Click the arrow next to "Filters"
  6. See a list of choices; the most suitable seeming to be, show only "Started By Me".

I have not tried it yet, but is maybe as close as I may get.
