there are @facebook emails for normal users (not for fan pages asaik). I am sending a private message to this @facebook email of a user from a normal email address but the message always gets to the "other" folder of facebook. This is logical, since otherwise there would be a lot of spam. If the user goes to the "other" Folder and moves the message to the inbox, then this email-address becomes "known". So the next email will land in his inbox folder.

I would like to make this process (marking the email-address as known) using the php api - is this possible?

Thanks a lot!

regards - Mike

Obviously that is surely not possible, because you would be allowed to avoid the useful spam detection that way. Also, the @facebook.com addresses are deprecated:

  • I see, yeah this sounds pretty logical too ... :| Ok so is there any way a fan page can send messages to the user (if the user accepts this kind of communication of course) ? – Kosha Misa Mar 08 '14 at 13:42
  • no, a fan page can and should ONLY send messages to a user if he initiates the communication, but there´s the message inbox for that. so a user has to send a private message to a page, then the page can answer. i never did this with the api, but i think it is possible. – andyrandy Mar 08 '14 at 13:43
  • I was searching for that and didn't find anything. The only thing that seems to be possible is reading the messages using the api but not replying – Kosha Misa Mar 08 '14 at 13:50
  • i included some links for that in the answer, check it out – andyrandy Mar 08 '14 at 14:01
