Did Paul ever hear back from the Corinthians?
I mean he sent them all those letters...did they ever write back. And if they did what did they say?

The penny post was not invented until the 19th century. The Corinthians wanted to write but couldn't find a stamp.

Considering that letters were exchanged throughout the Church to various regions of the known world St. Paul written more letters than what was including within Scripture and yes he also received letters back. That's why when you read the Epistles from Scripture they will seem unanswered because these letters that were written back to him were not included. In fact the Epistles in Scripture are not only the letters that were written by St. Paul to various people and places but also his own personal documents that contained his teachings.

Yes.
After hearing alarming news from Corinth (probably
from Chloe's people) Paul sent Titus-Timothy and
Erastus to Macedonia with instructions to proceed
to Corinth. Timothy probably carried the tearful letter.
"So he sent two of his helpers, Timothy and
Erastus, to Macedonia, while he himself stayed for
sometime longer in Asia." (Acts 19:22)
"I urged Titus to go, and I sent the brother with him"
(2 Cor. 12:18)
Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus arrive in
Ephesus with reassuring news from Corinth.
"I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and
Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have
made up for your absence; for they refreshed my
spirit.." (1 Cor. 1617)

Possibly, they simply were not included in scriture.
Anyway, he wrote them and then visited them a few weeks later so anything they had to reply they could have done face to face.
