You're only meant to have a maximum of 5 lives in the game, receiving more doesn't change that unfortunately. It's the way King have designed it to be and I don't see them ever changing that. The only thing you can do is keep a few messages unread until you need them, but keep it limited as it seems having too much in the inbox just seems to create discrepancies with it.
