Mail

Premium Members can message any user on the site.

Free Members can message Premium users (those with a ⭐ star icon).

Look for the Message icon on a user's profile. If the icon is inactive, it usually means the recipient's privacy settings or your membership level doesn't allow it.

Yes. Go to Preferences > Privacy to control who can message you first:

• Filter by age or gender
• Block all new messages
• If you are a Premium or Verified member, you can also limit messages to Premium users only, Verified users only, or both

These filters only apply to new incoming messages. Anyone you reach out to can always reply, regardless of your filter settings.

You can also block or mute users directly from their profile or from your mailbox (click the three dots by a user's name). Blocked and muted users cannot message you. Muting is available to Premium members only.

Even if you are a Premium member, you may not be able to message a user for several reasons:

Privacy filters
The user may have set filters that only allow messages from certain members, such as Premium or Verified users, or apply age or gender restrictions.

Blocked or muted
The user may have blocked or muted you. If so, you cannot contact them regardless of past conversations.

Check the Message icon on their profile. If it is inactive, it usually reflects one of these reasons.

You can block or mute a user to prevent them from contacting you:

• Block (available to all members) — prevents the user from messaging you, viewing your profile or blog, or interacting with your content.
• Mute (Premium only) — prevents the user from messaging you while still allowing them to see your profile and blog.

Blocked and muted users cannot contact you, regardless of past conversations.

You can block or mute a user directly from your mailbox (click the three dots by a user's name) or from their profile.

Premium members can send images that can only be viewed once. Clicking the image shows it briefly before it is permanently deleted.

Important: Even with self-destruct images, recipients may take screenshots or save the image by other means. Send sensitive content cautiously.

For privacy and comfort, CAGE Mail does not show whether a message has been read.

Yes. You can send images as attachments.

If sending explicit images, make sure you have the consent of the recipient before sending.

No, messages do not expire.

These types of messages violate CAGE rules and should be reported immediately.

For guidance on reporting users or content that violate our rules, see Keeping Safe.
