The user is allowed to choose if they want to receive notification of new messages. Some people do not want to be bothered by messages, so the option would be turned off for them.

Under the "Private Messages" section of the User CP/Options section:

This forum features a private messaging system, which allows members to send messages to one another privately.

If you do not want to send or receive private messages, you may disable the private messaging system.


The forum can send a message to your email address to inform you when someone sends you a private message.


If you are browsing the forums when you receive a new private message, the system can pop-up a notification box informing you of the new message.


If the user chooses not to check off any of the options in this section, then they will not know if they have a message or not.

Personally, I think if the member doesn't want to accept new messages, they shouldn't be forced to.
