Facebook rolled out an upgraded messaging platform in February 2011.
Prior to that time, the social networking site had been offering users
access to the new platform by invitation only. The upgraded service
allows any Facebook user to get an @facebook.com email address. If you
have an anonymous email account on another service such as Gmail,
Hotmail or Yahoo! Mail, you can send a message to a Facebook user's
inbox even if you aren't friends and you are not a Facebook member.
Step 1
Navigate
to the profile of the Facebook user that you want to message. Position
your mouse in your browser's "Address Bar" and click behind the
"facebook.com/" URL. Highlight the text after this URL, which is the
Facebook user's display name.
Step 2
Log in to your
anonymous email account on Gmail, Yahoo! Mail or any other service
unrelated to Facebook. Begin a new email message. Click inside the "To:"
field. Right-click and select "Paste," then type "@facebook.com" after
the Facebook user's display name.
Step 3
Enter a subject
for your message. Compose your message, attach any files you wish to
send and click "Send" to send an anonymous email to the Facebook user.
