Anybody know? Two people have told me that they sent me messages via the email thing here on the forum, but neither of them got to me.
I have the box checked that says "Allow others to email me... etc."
What else do I have to do?

Check your Yahoo! (or other mail) blocked email address list. Sometimes you can inadvertently block an address and not receive messages that you really want to get.
This happened to me for about 3 months when I first started on here.
EDIT:
If you don't get emails even that far, try going under you Answers profile, and click on the link labeled "Edit my info."
In the email section, make certain that you have a primary email address chosen, and make it one that you would normally check.
If that doesn't work, send me an email and I'll come back HERE (in my answer) to give you further options.

100% scam. There is no Yahoo, Nokia, Shell, BBC, Google, Coca-Cola, MSN, Microsoft, BMW or any other company in the entire world that sponsors a lottery that notifies winners via email, phone call or text. The next email will be from another of the scammer's fake names and free email addresses pretending to be the "lottery official" and will demand you pay for made-up fees and taxes, in cash, and only by Western Union or moneygram. Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever. Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his 'potential ******' list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram. Do you know how to check the header of a received email? If not, you could google for information. Being able to read the header to determine the geographic location an email originated from will help you weed out the most obvious scams and scammers. Then delete and block that scammer. Don't bother to tell him that you know he is a scammer, it isn't worth your effort. He has one job in life, convincing victims to send him their hard-earned cash. Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer. If you google "fake yahoo lottery", "lotto Western Union fraud" or something similar, you will find hundreds of posts of victims and near-victims of this type of scam.

You have to go through Yahoo mail. Everything is directed into your yahoo email account. At the very top left of the page is a link to your mail. I also wrote you an email before, quite a while back Jon!

For some reason, I don't get them either.
My inbox will say that I have 75 messages, but when I open it, I only have 3.
But I am pretty much glad that I don't get the e-mails. I know what some of them will say
