Messages, Replies and E-mails

Go into My Messages and click on Read your Messages. Then on that page click on Preferences and then Change Settings. Then make sure that the box that says "Save a copy of each personal message in my sent items by default." is ticked.

When you want to see sent messages go to My Messages, Read Messages, Sent Items.

Someone might have a quicker way, but that works for me.

Thanks Groom, I'll give that a try.

At the top of this page, click on 'Forum.'  From the list, choose the relevant forum, 'Beginners,' for example.  Just above the list of topics is a green button labeled 'New Topic.'   Click on that, then write your message in the message box and then click on 'Post.'  That's it.

Apologies if this has been asked a million times, but if you PM someone, does it get forwarded to their email account?  I found someone who could be related to me and would LOVE to contact her, but she hasn't logged in since 2012.

Hi, Yes, assuming they are still using the same email address, they will get notification of your PM

Good Luck

But only if they signed up for email notification.  At least one of us said, "Hell, no!"

And also as long as both of you have made at least 3 postings.

Far better to reply to the thread that you've found and they should be notified that there's a reply on it.
