Are you looking for the Private Messages? You can see the link just below the welcome message.

Have you enabled private messaging in your profile? If not, edit your profile and enable PM.

Its enabled in my settings.

Private messaging can be enabled after 150 posts, and LQ doesn't keep a track of "sent" mails, AFAIK.
Private messaging and mails are different things.

Okay, I had no idea that PM can be enabled only after certain number of posts. I dont use them much as well. So it could be a reason. Ajit has not made 150 posts yet and that could be why he is unable to see PM.

Your e-mail client. Mails are send to you by e-mail and PM's aren't (a notice of a new PM might be send by e-mail, depending on your set options).

Hope this helps.

Thanks I get it now.What I was looking was a link somewhere may be where I get redirected to my mails or a notification that someone has sent me a mail etc.

Hi,

Did you have a look at your Edit Options -> Messaging & Notification section. Here you can tweak your settings to your liking.

Hope this helps.

But theres no way to figure out that someone has sent me a mail from here until I go to my mail client and chek my mails but I think I have my answer.Thanks everyone.

linuxlover.chaitanya · 04-09-2012, 04:55 AM

Exactly. But then mail is a mail. You know what I mean.
