[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1809132, member: 396914"] I cannot speak for your Android phone. Never had one, don't want one, don't know how they work. However, what you did was to email a text message to the doctor, who responded by text message. You said the text was too long for texting, but basically, what the doctor got was not email, but a very long text, exactly the same as if you had texted the long message to him directly. He then responded to that text by texting back to you. To see that text on your Mac, you need to have Messages open. If it is open, you will get a notification ON THE MAC, to say the message has arrived. It won't show in Mail because the doctor didn't respond by mail, but by text message. So, everything worked as it should, except for your Android phone, which apparently has issues with email and messaging. As I said, I don't know how they work at all so can't comment on the failure. So, if you plan to do that same thing again, you should open Messages on the Mac and leave it on the Dock, running in the background. That way you will get notifications when texts arrive. or you can just sent the text as a text to the doctor, regardless of length, and then look for a response by text. [/QUOTE]
