Hello Tini!
We will figure it out. Thanks for this question ;-)

1. Regarding looking in your Sent Folder...

SignText messages will never appear in your Sent Folder of other  
software...there is no Sent Folder for SignText ;-)

Let us imagine you use Outlook Express, or Eudora, or the Apple Mail  
program, to send your normal email. When you create an email in those  
programs and send it, then the sent message ends up in the Sent  
folder while you are in that email software. But that is only for  
messages that are composed and sent from that specific software.

But SignText is a separate mail program. And there is no place called  
Sent Messages in SignText. But there is a message at the top of the  
screen, when you send it, that says: Your email has been sent! That  
is the only way to know if it was sent of not...


2. Regarding disappearing messages...

I suspect you did not fill in the complete email address in both the  
To and From area in SignText email. You cannot use any shortcuts that  
you might use in another email program...you have to use the complete  
email address for the SignWriting List in the To section, and your  
complete email address in the From section...no nicknames or  
shortcuts...

Can you try it again knowing this and see what happens? smile...

Hope it works for you this time!

Val ;-)
