Via my laptop: Yes, the message appears w/in my Dashboard. (to which I sent a follow up message to the Guest in the hopes that she in fact still is able to email me).
Via my mobile app: No, the message does not appear w/in my Dashboard.
Any idea on how to escalate this topic to someone at Airbnb Corp who'd be able to look into my account to confirm?
@David177 Apps in general are pretty glitchy for using the Airbnb website. Unfortunate, but true and Airbnb is fully aware of it as evidenced by the number of questions/complaints they receive on a daily basis from hosts and guests. So there's no need to tell them...they know. Even the customer service reps on Twitter acknowledge that the Aibnb site is best optimized on a device using Google Chrome.
I use my phone only for notifications as it is mobile. For all other Airbnb business I use my laptop.
