Inbox and Outbox

[Forfarian]

I would like to point out 2 small icons on the "inbox" which you may not have noticed.
One is a "speech bubble with lines in"  immediately before the email, meaning an item has been read. There is also another " speech bubble with lines in, with a green arrow pointing left" means has been read and has been replied to. Clicking on the message with this icon, opens up to a page which gives received message and sent message on same page, whis is what you wanted.

If I could see both of those icons, and if they did as you say, they would indeed do what I want.

I can see against each post in the inbox the "speech bubble with lines in" but not the "speech bubble with lines in, with a green arrow pointing left". I have set my preferences to 'conversations' but it doesn't actually do it.

Would have been here quicker, but discretion was necessary !

To my shame I didn't see Tom's reply - serves me right for not RTBT.

If this is a speech bubble, then it was what Tom said :



Time to buy some specs - I can't see what it is !

I'm afraid I can't see the speech bubble with the green arrow either. And I'm sorry to be slower than the rest of you but I don't understand Pels' reply....., I've fiddled about with that symbol Pels mentioned ('change view') and a number of other things but it still doesn't seem to combine my messages and my replies. (I'm not really bothered about it but like to know how things work  )

I definitely have a long way to go........

If you look in the PM-menu "Preferences", you can click on "Settings" and choose whether you want to see messages as "conversations"

Change between "drop-down" and "side bar" menus with the change view button
(or set it in your profile >> Look and layout >>  Use sidebar menus instead of dropdown menus when possible.

Thanks, Bob. I've done that, and it makes no difference. No idea why. It's doing my poor ageing head in

Hi, I have been following this thread as it was a bit of a pain for me also that messages were segregated,  However I have just followed Bobs advise on reply number 14 and it works a treat  .

I'm sorry but mine is definitely set to 'conversation' and it still seems one-sided, I expect it's me doing something wrong  But my page doesn't look exactly like Bob's either...

Edit - yes it does, it looks like the lower half! Sorry

Hi People,

Glad to see we are getting near to a solution. I think once you have changed the settings you would have to reply to a message then you would see the little green arrow attached to the speech bubble. I will send those involved a test message that you can reply to.

PS Sorry for late reply, been out for dinner with wife, sister in law and husband, in Glasgow, superb meal.
