Hi Oscar:
For technique reason:
Because they have two different fields set... It is easier two different
view and templates.
If put them together, then I need to add a lot of logic to template to
decide what kind of message need to show or not. So, I prefer separate them
to makes the code looks cleaner.
For personal reason:
I like to separate them to two pages because looks more intuitive.
:)
Mark

Why do we need two separate pages for inbox and outbox? What's wrong with
having a big "messaging" one that provides access to the inbox and the
outbox?
