Facebook Email Service - Get your FB email ID ( username@facebook.com )

Facebook, as you know the top social networking site has recently introduced its own email service which allow you to send and receive messages using an email address (username@facebook.com). But don't think of it as a regular email service as you will find no usual email elements like subject lines, cc and bcc which you'll find in most of the popular email service providers like Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail etc… An other interesting concept they are providing is that you can restrict messages from a particular sender with simple setup.

>> How do I get a Facebook Email Address?

It's so simple. As this is a new feature, you need to request for an email address invitation from your facebook page.

1. Login to your Facebook Account

2.Click here ( or visit http://www.facebook.com/about/messages/ ) to Send a request. In the next window,press “Request an Invitation” button.


3. It will take some time to get your account activated. You'll get a message alert once it is accepted.

4.You can then select your Username for your facebook email which will be “Username@facebook.com”

5.Once your Facebook email id is set up, you can share your Facebook email ID with your friends. All email messages from friends will land in messages section of your Facebok account.
