   If someone should send you an email to the Facebook address, how do you get your messages? Does it come into Facebook as a PM?

   When you got your acct. Facebook gave you an e-mail address that uses their own e-mail system -- if/when someone sends you e-mail using that Facebook address, you have to go to your Facebook e-mail inbox to read it.

   IN a nutshell Facebook changed the e-mail address shown to your visitors from whatever e-mail address you had to your Facebook address. You have to manually change it back to showing whatever address you prefer.
