yeah, yesterday, i've got my first mail from him and i have a good feeling about him.i was so proud of myself that i had the balls to write a guy in prison.even my first mail was not much on, just i didn't knew what i could write or not, but he sending a mail back and i'll back to him.just received 2 mails back from him.he is ver honest about everything.(have done some search on google).and now, i am waiting for his next mail.and it wasn't waiting 2 houres forme, just 15 minutes later after this reply i was on corrlinks.now, hoping that i've found more pp by mailing or writing.

 
Hunnydew

You have done everything correct, you just have to wait for it to be verified his end now. He will contact you when its been done

Ahhh I see. Thank you hunnydew. Understood now.

 
Hunnydew

I started my account first too. He will add your email to his account then an email is sent with a code in. Log in, then go to account management, click manage my inmate list, drop down box of the correctional agency he is in then enter the code. It usually takes about 2 hours from when my pp writes me an email to me recieving it.

the way i did it was wait for my invite message on the email address i sent him

I can imagine. I am waiting for my penpal to add me on Corrlinks. Since I am here, I might as well ask all you good people here.

So I already set up a corrlinks account. I keyed in his inmate number and now I just wait for him to accept? I snail-mailed him my corrlink email address afew days ago and it will take awhile to get there.

I got my answer from Queenbella's post above. Searches are just my pet peeve.

What do you want to know?

Why I hate Search Nazis!

I always search. Sometimes you may actually find the answer. But you may need a lot of time for reading all the other posts with the word you searched for in them that do not contain the answer. I just want an answer before my senile mind forgets why I wanted to know. As you can see below , quit a bit of reading to get to the answer.

[QUOTE=Hunnydew;1005534]Well maybe next time, write the above rather than making snide comments. Im new, i dont understand this whole process so thought i could get answers here in the forum without searching a whole bunch of corrlink threads when i was using my phone. Like i say i apologise. [B]In future i will just use the search function and no longer post. [/B]

Thanks to those that replied :) Have great days![/QUOTE]

You will probably find more in depth answers to your questions in older threads, tbh.

Eh.... okay? :shrug:

I apologise for asking a question :(

No need to apologize!...

 
karleigh

No no, it's not that it's just it gets asked so many times. There is a search function on the top right, most of the time there has been a tonne of threads about any questions you have. It just gets a bit tiresome for us who have been here a while to see the same thing over and over, you know?

 
Hunnydew

I apologise for asking a question :(

Once you give him your email address he will add you to his list. You will then receive an email from Corrlinks asking you to go to their website and enter in the code that they sent along with said email. Then usually you wait an hour or two and that's when you can email back and forth. Because once you log in then and go to Account Management>Manage Inmate list... The little box behind his name (far right) will say status pending.. After the hour or two it says something like "approved" or "ready".. I can't remember what word exactly, but point is...then you're ready to email ! Oh and once it's been approved and what not, there is a box next to his name (far right again)... that you can check... "email alert"... that way you get email notifications sent to your email inbox whenever he sends you a message. :)

Hunnydew

Thank you penpal, thats good to know.

 
Penpal

Just remember that your pal won't be able to e-mail when the facility is on lockdown. He can receive e-mails while they are on lockdown and read them later, but he can obviously not get to them when he's confined to his cell 24/7. Hopefully, he's somewhere where this does not happen often. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know so you know this is a possible reason if you don't hear from him for a long time via CorrLinks.

 
Hunnydew

Thank you :) I've started an account already so just need his code.
