The mailbox feature allows you to send and receive messages to and from users on the RRN.

To learn how to find users of the RRN, read the help page about “Users”. The mailbox works almost exactly like regular email. To open your mailbox, click on the “mailbox” link next to your name in the top right hand corner of your screen.

Try it! Try sending and receiving messages in your mailbox.
