Oh... I just read it now - thank you for the information - so after 5 posts everything should work normally 🥰

That was an unfortunate chain of events, I understand the confusion. It's just like it was said above, some features aren't available for new accounts to prevent spammers from attacking users.

Now that you have advanced to muffin rank by posting, you should be able to send messages. 

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you @Twilight Sparkle ✨ and @Rikifive so much for your helpful explanations! I couldn't have figured that out on my own.
