I'm not an Admin, but...

The trick is to click on the ADD button. If you just type the member's name without clicking on Add and then click Submit, the forum is nice enough to add the address for you, but previews the message - you just need to click on Submit again in this case.

Hope it helps.

I would say it's another issue than what hoggy described (PMs not being sent at all).

Or rather - it's not an issue.
Your PMs remain in your "Outbox" folder as long as they haven't been fetched, that's as simple as that.
As soon as they have been opened by their recipient, they go to your "Sent Messages" folder.

It's a weird phpBB design, maybe I'll patch it at some point.

Thanks all. Actually it's kinda nice, like a read receipt built in. Now it i can just get this post to work. :D
