There isn't one.

You can't.

Nope .....

The "»Unsent" folder is where all your parked(held) messages are stored. Now
why it's called "»Unsent" has always been a mystery to me. A more appropriate
name would have been either "»Parked" or "»Held".

Yes, that's correct because as far as OpenXP is concerned, parked(held)
messages are not the same as unsent messages. Confusing or what? 8-]
