Read confirmation/sending status of a message

You can tell the sending status of a message by its assigned symbol.
The sending status is influenced by your account status but also the privacy settings of your communication partner(s).

Status of a message:

The message was not sent (yet). It is recommended to stay in the chat until this status changes, to make sure that the message is delivered correctly.

A message shows:

The message was delivered to the server succesfully and can be received from the communication partner(s).

A message shows:

The message has been read by a communication partner who has the read confirmation enabled. (Disabling/enabling the read confirmation after reading an unread message, does not change its “read information”.)
