is there an e-mail limit when we are using the free service or should we always be able to receive e-mail messages?

"Why did I encounter an email limit?
We had to place a limit on first-contact emails because of spammers. Basically, this cuts down the number of first-contact emails that one can send within a two-to-three-day period (we can't divulge anymore information about this limit). However, a member affected by this limit will still be able to send an unlimited number of emails to those with whom he or she has already had some back-and-forth. It should be noted that MinglePlus members are exempt."

I do not believe there is any limit
on incoming email, except from those
with the same issue as above.

yes, i should have made myself clear...is there a limit when you have already made contact with that individual is what i meant to ask.

No :-)

Thank you!
