What does outbox in yahoo mail mean

In Yahoo Mail, the "Outbox" is a folder that stores emails that you have sent but have not yet been delivered to the recipient's mailbox. This folder is also sometimes referred to as the "Sent Items" folder.

When you compose an email and click the "Send" button, the email is temporarily stored in your Outbox until it is successfully delivered to the recipient's mailbox. If the email is not delivered, it will remain in your Outbox until you manually delete it or move it to another folder.

The Outbox is useful for keeping track of emails that you have sent but have not yet been confirmed as delivered. You can also use the Outbox to:

• Check the status of sent emails: You can view the status of sent emails in the Outbox, including whether they were successfully delivered or if there were any errors.
• Resend emails: If an email is not delivered, you can resend it from the Outbox.
• Delete sent emails: You can delete sent emails from the Outbox to free up space in your mailbox.

It's worth noting that the Outbox is not the same as the "Sent" folder in other email providers, such as Gmail. In Yahoo Mail, the Sent folder is a separate folder that stores emails that you have sent and have been confirmed as delivered.
