Drafts, Outbox, and what happens when you press Send

The two tabs

• •Drafts — written, not sent. Edit, discard, or send from here. Bulk-prepared emails arrive here.
• •Outbox — queued and on its way, plus anything that has already gone with its delivery status.

Why it queues instead of sending instantly

Email sent in bursts from a new sender looks like bulk mail to the systems that decide whether it reaches an inbox. Pacing sends protects the thing you actually care about: that a coach sees it at all.

It also means there is a window in which you can change your mind.

What you can and cannot see afterwards

You can see whether an email was delivered or bounced, because the sending system reports that. You cannot see whether a coach opened it or read it — Skoutd does not track opens, and any tool that claims to is guessing from a tracking pixel that most mail clients now block.

Replies go to your own inbox, because your address is the reply-to. When one arrives, log it.

One coach at a time

Every email goes to exactly one person. There is no way to mail a whole staff at once, deliberately — a message that is obviously a broadcast is the fastest way to be ignored.
