The new message indicator just worked automatically for me. It shows up as a VERY small envelope icon in the entertainment status window. There is also a bit of a delay for it showing up after a message is received. Less than a minute, however. As for actually reading an e-mail, I had to wade into the "Office" bits of the iDrive. As I said, only did it once, and never with a text.

Good luck!
