With the Netpopup service, you can see messages as they arrive at your

receive messages. By default, the Messenger service and the Netpopup (or
Minipop) service(s) are configured to start when the Workstation service is
started.
Once started, the Netpopup service can be stopped only by stopping the
Workstation service.

A message box disappears after one minute or when you press ESC.
If message logging is on, a message is saved in the message log file. If
message logging is off, messages are discarded after they are displayed.
