Why do I get “Email available soon” when accessing Facebook webmail?

Question

I have just created a Facebook account, and I'm trying to see if I can use the webmail available in Facebook. However, I see a "Email available soon" in my Messages page. Do I have a wait a certain period to be able to use the webmail feature? If so, how long do I have to wait?

Answer 1

Did you set your Username? If so I think it's going to be a short amount of time (or right away) until you'll be able to receive emails when people are sending them at your username@facebook.com.
