Particle, thanks for furthering the point ;). I think that having a link to Message Inbox would be great. I didn't know about the node until I was told by another monk.

And, no, I don't think the link should only appear after receiving Nth message in my Inbox, it should be there at all time - as an essential part of the ChatterBox nodeled.

However, one might also add 'Message Inbox' to his/her personal nodelet, althought it's not always obvious ;(.
