Hidden messages in Facebook - the Other message folder

Does everyone know about Facebook's Other message folder? Yesterday I was horrified to find a whole bunch of messages from family and friends hidden in a Facebook folder I knew nothing about.

I've found out that Facebook has two folders for messages - Inbox and Other. I'd assumed that any message sent to me would go straight into the Inbox. I had no idea that Other actually existed. When I found out about Other and checked it yesterday, I was horrified to find a bunch of old messages from friends and family that I didn't know I'd received and hadn't replied to.

If you're not aware of the Facebook Other folder, it's a good idea to check it and see if there are any hidden messages waiting for you.

If you need more details on how to find and manage this Facebook folder, I've written a blog post about my experience including screen shots showing how to manage the Other folder.

Hope it helps!
