Outbox or Sent messages?

Can anyone explain why some of my outgoing messages end up in my 'Outbox' folder and some end up in my 'Sent' folder?

Outgoing should be a Temp area till the message is confirmed sent to recipient, then its moved to sent. At least that is what I have deduced from my past messages.

What Loriath said. Messages stay in the outbox until at least one of the recipients has opened it. Then it is moved to the sent folder. As long as no recipient has opened it and it is still in the outbox, you can still edit or cancel the message. Once in the sent folder this is no more possible.
I hope this clears things up a bit.

Not really
If you look at this
http://screencast.com/t/nqfBwwa1 you will see an extract of my 'outbox' All these messages are shown as sent, this is what is confusing me as my 'sent' folder holds different messages, also shown as sent.

Are you sure all these messages have been read?

I see your point - presumably the recipients have not opened them - which may explain why I have not had a response from certain members!
