The outbox it is supposed to store the mails when you are using SMTP and are offline.
That has nothing to do with sentbox which stores the mail taht it is already send.

Well, thank you very much but I thought I had that working. I have been asking for a week for some bug reports on the sending code and I have receive only one which is already fixed. If you have any bug please send me the report.
About cleaning the code, Iīm still working on it, and if you donīt mind I would like to clean my code myself whenever it is done which I hope it will be soon.
If you are looking for something to work on, check the pop3 retriving code, I believe that nobody it is working on it, that has a nice bug that causes a seg fault when you use threads and try to retrieve mail while offline.
