Hi,
so I'm on boxcar 2.3 and so far it works for everything except facebook messages. Notifications and also hidden notifications are being pushed to my iPod Touch but facebook messages just don't seem to work, although I have the feature switched on in the settings.
Any solutions?

    Hi Nik,

    Try logging out of Facebook and logging back in (inside of Boxcar). After that, toggle the 'Mail' notifications.

    Also, did you ever receive the pop-up that asks you to confirm to allow Boxcar to access your mail?

    Hey,
    I did what you told me to. I did receive the pop up that asks me to confirm
    to allow Boxcar to access my mail.
    After I did, push for messages seems to work randomly. Every now and then I
    get a notification that I got a message on facebook, but more often than not
    it won't work.
    That's so weird, because the notifications for all the other stuff work
    seamlessly.

    I've been asking about this problem for months. Even resorted to sending messages to the twitter account (no response there either). This isn't working and when it does it's totally RANDOM.

    This needs a fix, logging in and out is NOT working.

    I have to agree that this is rather a random thing with Facebook. With Twitter, it seems to just work.

    I've sent a few messages about this, with no response. In addition I sent a message about uninstalling, and reinstalling Boxcar, and how to get around NOT paying again for adding a second service. Again, still no reply...

    It worked great at the beginning. It has been a problem now for quite a while. It's the mail reason I bought this...please fix it. The update seems to have made it worse...now I get a connection error.
