Send messages to inbox at my account on meetup.com, not my email address
create an option to receive messages in an inbox on the meetup website, not to my email.

Especially as an organizer, it would be so nice to be able to log onto my group and see my notifications instead of having to scroll through email to see if anyone contacted me.

Couldn't agree more! I'm new to Meetup Everywhere and have started from the ground up but now have 22 communities. I want to be able to see an email history and have an email inbox/outbox to look at. I am losing track of who I have messaged and sent things to. It seems crazy not to have a feature like that.

Many of us do not appreciate our email inbox being spammed by people we have no close connection with.
Sent to Support: "I'm am trying to adjust my email settings so that I don't receive ANY emails from members of a certain group (including the organizer). On the group's 'settings'/'communication settings, all the boxes are already unchecked, including 'don't send me mailing list messages' and 'email me when someone announces a meetup' and 'i want to receive automated reminders.' Why then am I receiving a message from the organizer? see attached."
Meetup Support's reply: "Hmmm... that's a tough one. Currently there's no way to *completely* eliminate the emails you get from your Meetup Groups or your Organizers. For instance, the email you forwarded below, which contains 'announce' in the from address, is one sent from a group's Organizer.
Having control over that is a great suggestion, though. We really appreciate your thoughts on this, and your patience while we make changes and improvements around here. :)" -

yes! I was so confused when I went directly to Meetup.com only to find out 24hrs later that I received a message from one of the new members. If you allow someone to send u a message from Meetup, they should be allowed to receive a message, on Meetup. The current set-up is counterintuitive.

There are a dozen different suggestions all with this basic idea and many votes. Probably in excess of 70 if added together. Can a moderator please move all the votes in to one or other of the suggestions and then take action on it?

Meetup really needs to rethink their entire UI, but their messaging system really sucks. Why they can't implement a simple way to view your messages from other members or organizers is beyond me. Do they even read these messages or care? I'm really frustrated with their snails pace and lack of communication. Who's running this show?

This is the best idea yet because it sucks cluttering my inbox mixed with important emails and we dont have to go to 2 different pages.

This sounds like a good idea. It would be nice if it streamed onto it's own feed or page in your meetup account, instead of the same one that shows messages relevant to those you're a member of. Then have an option on the page where you could choose to have alerts sent one-at-a-time (how they are), or as a daily or weekly summary that's sorted by topic. I'd really prefer a weekly summary. I don't check my email that often and having 100 meetup alerts to swim through is a bit more than merely aggravating.

I do know u can minus the topics that u choose to be sent to your own email, but what I want to happen is that I don't get them as emails at all and still have the topics suggested to our main Meetup page so that when we sign in we can see them rather than delete that topic altogether from our profile. It is unfair to get bombarded by emails of suggested new meetups or interests. They should just list them on member's profiles categorized by what we chose on our page that we like to do.

I like this idea because I find members don't always read their personal emails, or receive so many emails that they cannot manage all of them or they cannot decide which emails are important. I would recommend making an inbox for each group a member is in so that all the related emails are all in one location. I would also like to see instant messaging built into this feature. Members visiting the Meetup site at the same time can chat with each other, or members and potential members can chat with an organizer.

go to your own email account & search for meetup. You'll find what you need. This feature is not needed.

There needs to be an inbox (within meetup.com) to temporarily house all of the messages people have sent you. Don't you agree???
