The User Messages windows shows messages that were sent by FTP users to the system administrator. If there are any messages the envelope icon will show in the right-hand corner of the status bar and clicking on the icon will make the User Messages window visible. You can also make this window visible by using the "Window | Messages" menu or by pressing F2.
There is only one User Messages window for all servers you administer from the Administrator program, all messages from all servers and domains come to this window. By default messages are stored unless you delete them. You can also reply to messages or send messages to all users on all servers from this window.
The first line of each message shows a date and time stamp, the domain name, and the server name on which the domain is located. The next line is the user name, session ID number, and the message itself.
