Playing solitaire saga...how do I collect lives sent to me by friends?

Tutti255

After I have lost the 5 lives that I waited to accumulate...how come there is never a way to collect the lives sent to me by friend ? Why send and receive if you can not collect! Does anyone know the SECRET?    Help!

So when you first open the game, you get the pop up with your messages, then you use your normal lives and the inbox isn't there? Is this what you mean?
