I would like to receive an email when someone sends me a message on Facebook. This used to happen by default until October 2020.
Is it still possible to set it up somehow?
Are email notifications still available?

Go to your Account Settings and select Notifications from the left pane. Now you can see the Notification Settings page: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=notifications§ion=Facebook&view
Select "You'll receive: All notifications, except the ones you unsubscribe from" and click "Turn On" next to "Messages" under "You've unsubscribed from emails about:". That's all.
You can create a second Facebook account with your business email address and set that account as a co-owner of that Facebook page.
Alternatively, you can setup a auto-forward rule inside Gmail.

I went and looked in the usual place where we would set notifications for our email and indeed it seems Messenger option isn't present. There was another question asked how to enable on it, and comments on the top answer reflect the same.
Seems they got rid of the ability to get messenger posts via email, although I couldn't find any official announcement for the same.
