Outbox: The outbox stores the messages to be sent. In practice it
means that messages are stored here before they are sent out to the
recipients.
Sent: In this folder you can track back your sent messages. The
details of messages are also available in this option, as well. In this way
you can easily follow and preview your messaging process.
Not Sent: Messages that are cannot be sent because of any failure
are stored in this folder. Such a failure can be if the phone number of the
recipient does not exist. In these times messages cannot be forwarded.
Scheduled: This box contains messages that are scheduled for
sending in a predefined time. This time can be set when you compose your
message. The messages are stored in this folder until this specified time.
In the specified time the message is sent out to the recipient.
