Outgoing Message Deletion
Alys 17 hours ago

@JosephK : The intention is that as soon as you've sent a message, it is copied to the recipient's inbox and when you delete your own copy, the recipient's copy is not deleted, so your point (1) is correct. When you delete the message, it's meant to disappear from both sides of your screen, so your point (2) shows a bug. However when I tested, I found that the bug is that when you delete a message you've only just sent, the deletion actually doesn't really take effect - it does disappear from the right-hand side, but if you reload, you'll see the message has reappeared. After reloading, you can delete it again and it will work this time (it disappears from both sides and does not come back on reload). Thank you for telling us about this - we didn't know! I've reported it here: newly sent messages can't be deleted from "Messages" inbox - Issue #9530

I tried using the web client to send a PM, then delete it, and (1) the recipient still received it when she logged in and (2) the deleted message is gone from the right column of the message browser, but it still shows in the left column as the last message I sent to the recipient. Thanks!"
