Do messages stay in the Outbox until they are read?

Does a PM also go to the user's regular email account? Or is there someway that the user gets a notice that they have been sent a private message?

Though this may depend on your settings, I believe the default is that you receive a notification in your email of new PMs. If the user emails you through the board interface, you receive the entire message.

Correct, default is to receive an email notification when new private message arrives. All of this can be set/changed via your user control panel.

Also, web standards dictate that I can't turn on pop-ups by default -- but if you want to you can go to your user control panel and change the notification setting so that you see a pop-up message appear at this site when you log in, if you have an new private message.

User Control Panel -> Board Preferences -> set "Pop Up Window on New Private Message" to "yes"

I find it handy to see that pop-up window appear.
