Your message slipped through the cracks.
I think it might mean your message was lost or was lost in hundreds of messages or was neglected. What does "cracks" refer to?

You understand the meaning correctly. "Slips through the crack," is a metaphor that means a neglected task, much like dropping a coin which falls between the cracks in the floor, becoming lost and no longer in sight.
