I guess you wanted to omit "my" in 2a. They would all be correct if they had a comma after "message".

0All are okay. (Although I still struggle with the modern use of 'message' as a verb without a pronoun!)
0message is commonly used as a verb in the computer world. Not outside that.
In computer talk, it is commonly used transitively, eg Please don't message me . . .
All 4 are correct. 2a and 2b are the same.
