Troubleshooting
My inbox is empty or messages are missing
Why conversations may not show in Bokka yet, and what to check: the open tab, the extension, the view, filters and search.
An empty inbox reads "No conversations on this device yet": "Your LinkedIn messages sync into this browser through the Bokka extension and are stored on this device, not on our servers." Check these, quickest first.
- Keep Bokka open in a tab. Bokka loads from LinkedIn at a measured pace while it's open in a tab, and conversations appear as they arrive.
- Check the extension and your LinkedIn sign-in. If the extension is missing, see The extension isn't connected. For "You're signed out of LinkedIn in this browser.", sign in on linkedin.com, then press Check again.
- Check the view. Archived conversations are in Archive, snoozed ones in Reminders, message requests in Other and spam in Spam. Some views start hidden; Organize in the sidebar shows them. See Inbox views.
- Check the filters. "· 3 hidden" (or another number) in the list header means filters hide some conversations. Press it, or Clear all, to show everything.
- Search looks only at what's on this device: "Only the conversations and messages on this device are searched." For older conversations, scroll to the end of the list and press Load more conversations.
- On a new browser, or after signing out or Clear local data, your messages download again. Your labels and notes are kept in your account.
Messages you might see
- "LinkedIn changed how its inbox answers, so sync stopped until we update for it. What's already here stays on this device." There's nothing to do; it starts again after we update.
- "We couldn't read this browser's storage." Reload the page. If it keeps happening, check that site data isn't blocked for this site.
- "Sync is off until the extension or this page is updated." See Update the extension.
- "Your trial has ended". See Choose, change or cancel a plan.
