I thought if I sent you a private message, you would be the only one to see it, but every time I do that, all the private messages are attached and jump from topic to topic and everyone gets it in their inbox, or so it seems to me.
If I want to send a message to just you or just one other Mentor, I don't know how to prevent all the Mentors from reading it. That further clogs up the inbox.

Carol, A private message (PM) is accessed by clicking the envelope icon top right.
-You and just add your new message for me to the PM message chain that you and I have already established, and I will get it (either see a notice in me email, or see a little red number in a circle on the envelope icon).
-If you want to include others in the PM, you would need to start a new message by clicking "Compose) and adding the persons you want to include in the PM. Only those persons will have access to that PM.

Does this help you?

I have a trick to share!
There is the link to Get Started on Connect that is located in the bottom left corner of this page. You can open it there by clicking on it, or open it thru this link- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/get-started-on-connect/
You can find the how to do the private messaging, and other helpful tidbits.

I'll be looking for your message as I check in during the day.
You are doing great! It will become easier for you.

Carol, When you reply in Mentor/Moderator, it acts the same as in the public discussions. The Mentor/Moderator group is Private, meaning it is closed to the public, but all who have access to the Mentor/Moderator group, will see the reply.
Does that address your situation?

See this post. Scott is in between your post and mine. If I'm just trying to ask or answer you Scott or everyone else shouldn't have to take time to read something that he's not interested in. I thought I acceded the private message envelope to you, but it went to everybody. That shouldn't be.
