How do I get email from other members?
When you get mail, it will appear in your free Message Center. To open your Message Center:

- Click on the Inbox button on the top navigation bar.
- This will open your Inbox and show you any messages that you have received. (CC/Copied messages can be found in your Sent Messages folder)
What if it says my password is incorrect?
There could be several reasons why your password and username are not matching up. Try using your browser's "back" button to return to the log in screen. Clear the fields and enter your information again. If this still does not work, we suggest that you use the automated password/username lookup form. Other causes could include:
- Your account has been deleted during our review process. Please check your email inbox for a notice regarding this matter.
- You've updated your account and have a new password. Please check your email inbox for your new password and try to log-in again.
- Please clear your browsers cache, and make sure you aren't using a Bookmark or Hotlist link.

Even if you don't want to read all the emails at once, please do not report any email from BDSM Date as junk or spam.
