    I just found 12 unapproved fan mail messages going back two years that I had no idea were ever sent to me. All approved now.  Maybe I'm not the only one?
    To see if you've got mail you have to go to the 'my account page' and click on the 'activity' tab.  From there, you should see a list on your left that gives you an option to view fan mail that you've received. Who knew?. I dug this information up from an old forum post. Happy I found it, made my day.

      I'm going to check it out. Yeah, I've found old comments like that too.

      Yes, it can happen. They generally inform you, but again to prevent you from being bombarded as I am, they offer you some optional choices which you have to click. I won't swear but fan mail could be one of them.

      One can also stop them by mistake. Glad you found them. I lose comments sometimes and I don't necessarily have the patience to do them again. More tired these days. Catching up with Bill, in age at least. Chuckle.

      you are not alone. I have 15 fan mail for 3 years and i did not know about them either.
      you need to check them out every month.

    You are right, I found a whole bunch of them. Here these people said a whole bunch of nice things to me and I didn't even know. Thanks, it felt good to suddenly discover a bunch of nice messages.

      Hey Person, I'm happy to hear that. You've been here so long I thought for sure you would know how to find your fan mail. I wonder why they hide it?

    I recently got some fan mail. I forgot this feature existed until I got an email about it. It is nice to know some days people like my writing. I sometimes wonder if anybody REALY does some days.

      Yes, a little feedback is reassuring.
