Send messages on Facebook

- If you receive a response or request in the form of such a message, this is usually acknowledged with an email and a note in the Facebook message window.
- However, it is precisely at this point that problems can arise. You may find that a new message is displayed to you, but you have neither received an email nor found a new message.
