I recieved a message, but the account had been closed. (within an hour or two of the message) Is there any way I could read the message, and why does chess.com not allow messages from closed accounts to be read?

Speak to the staff about this and see if they can do something about it ?

Probably because messages are stored on a database, keyed by the account name. Once an account has been deleted, all of the entities belonging to that account (e.g. messages, topics) get deleted too.

well closed accounts aren't deleted, just closed.

that is why you can re-open your account if you close it.
