Read your Search Console messages for the current property in the message panel. All property-level messages sent to your by email are available in the message panel.
Read your messages
Open the message panel by clicking the bell icon 
at the top of Search Console. Quick link
If a number is shown on top of the message icon, it indicates the number of unread messages. A number will only be shown when a new message arrives, and will disappear after you open the panel.
Click a message in the panel to view it.
Search Console sends two types of messages:
- Property messages are sent to all appropriate users for a property (for example, a warning about a new indexing issue). The message panel contains all property messages sent in the past year, whether or not you had access to the property in Search Console during that time.
- User messages are sent only to a specific user (for example, if your permission level changes).
Message history and visibility
Messages are stored in a property's message history only when the property has a verified owner. The message history includes all messages sent to the property during this time, even if you did not yet have any permissions on this property. There is a 2,000 message limit in the panel.
A message is only visible to you if you have the proper permission level for that message.
Mark as read/unread
Reading a message in the message page will mark it as read. You can change the read/unread status for single messages or multiple messages as described here:
Single messages
Mark an open message as unread using the mail icon 
at the top of the message, or by using the bulk action checkbox in message list view.
Marking multiple messages as read or unread
Select one or more messages in the message list view, then choose a status (read or unread) to assign all selected messages.
Filter messages
Filter messages by type using the dropdown selection box above the list. Choose a message type to filter by, or select "All types" to see all your messages.
Set message preferences
You can set your messaging preferences in the Email Preferences page.
