Offline messaging

I have set up my wife and myself with accounts using our yahoo e-mail
addresses. As we use the same computer, I sent an offline message from one
account to the other, but nothing received. Whats the problem?

Greetings,

It could be delayed, it could have gone to the e-mail inbox of the Yahoo account or it
could've been lost. Offline messaging isn't that reliable I'm afraid.

Try using your yahoo accounts as Passport accounts.
