if you have a pop-up stopper, you won't be aware of the little box that pops up and tells you that you have a new message... but it's ok, 'cause there is still another easy way to check!
up top, where you access your control panel, it'll tell you how many messages you have in your private box. just click on that link and you'll be directed to your inbox right away.
hope this helps some of the n00bs and anyone else that didn't know. for those of you that did and wasted your time reading this... i um.. i uh.. i'm sorry?
