Do you know that you have an @facebook.com email account? Sounds cool, right? It’s been there for a long time now and if you don’t know about it then it’s time you check out the FaceBook email facility.
It’s been a while since FaceBook provided all it’s users with an @facebook.com email account. Though most of us are not aware of our FaceBook email accounts, this service very much exists within our FaceBook inbox. Recently FB started showing everyone’s FaceBook email addresses on their respective Timelines. I gave the service a try and turns out it’s pretty much functional and built right into our inbox.
Your email address on Facebook is the same as your public username or your public user ID. If you know nothing about your FaceBook email address, go to your Timeline. If it’s visible then fine, otherwise click on ‘Update Info’ and then check out the ‘Contact Info’ section. It should be listed there ([email protected]). That is your FaceBook email ID.
Now how do you use this thing? Go to your Inbox (Home > Messages) and click on New Message. Type an email address in the TO field and send your message. Boom! The message will be delivered to that email address. It works the opposite way too. You can compose an email to [email protected] and your message will be delivered to the FaceBook inbox.
