Every registered Yahoo!7 Dating user has a Yahoo!7 Dating Mailbox that allows private correspondence between Yahoo!7Dating users.

To read replies in your Yahoo!7 Dating Mailbox:

1. Go to the Yahoo!7 Dating home page. You must be logged in.
2. If you have new messages in your Yahoo!7 Dating Mailbox, you can see how many in the "My Personals Status" module at the top of the home page. Click either of these links to go to the Mailbox home page or click the "Mailbox" link in the navigation bar.
3. Your Mailbox home page lists all the "Connections" with whom you are communicating. A "Connection" is a convenient, single-page view of all your online communication with another Yahoo!7 Dating user.
4. Click anywhere in the message preview area to the right of that person's profile photo and information to access the Connection for that person.
5. Your most recent message or Icebreaker from that person appears at the top of the Connection page.
6. If you are a subscriber, you can email a reply to that person directly by clicking the "Write a Reply" button on the Connection page.
7. If you are not a subscriber, you can reply to an Icebreaker you're received with a free one-time Quick Reply by selecting a response from the pull-down menu on the Connection page. But if you click the "Subscribe to Reply" button and subscribe to Yahoo!7 Dating, you can carry on a real conversation with that person and send them unlimited email messages and instant messages, any time.

Please note: If a message includes an email address, you can respond by email, but remember that you'll be leaving the Yahoo!7 Dating Mailbox environment, and your correspondence will not be confidential.
