O.P. Offline messages are emailed to me?!
A day or two ago, an update window popped up and I just clicked update without really reading it and after that I've been experiencing this weird thing: When I talk with my friends, it's fine, but if I log out and they still reply to me, their message is emailed to me instead of popping up the next time I log in. This is annoying because it emails every line, so I get spammed if they decide to talk to me when I'm offline. How do I change this setting or fix this problem? It just started happening.
I have messenger plus version 4.83.0.376
and windows liver version 2009 (build 14.0.8089.726) and I"m using Windows XP, I dunno if this info helps, but please tell me how to change my setting, it's really annoying me :(

Hi. I've also experienced offline messages randomly being sent via email, but it soon went away.

Here's the only answer I can find:

So unfortunately it appears there's nothing you can do.

The problem you're having is unrelated to Messenger Plus! Live.
Offline messaging is a feature built into Windows Live Messenger.
