			When you are sent a message, the Messages window will pop-up. Also, the Messages block will display the name of the person sending the message with a link to read the message. If you have set the email option (see Message Settings below), then you will get a copy of the message in your email after the time you have specified if you are not logged in.

			After reading a message, you may type a reply then click on the "Send message" button.

			==Searching messages==
			[[Image:MsgSearch.jpg\|thumb\|Message window Search tab]]
			In addition to searching for people, the Search tab in the Messages window provides the option to search for keywords, only messages to or from you, and to include in the search people you have previously blocked from contacting you.

			==Managing contacts==
			[[Image:MsgContacts.jpg\|thumb\|Message window Contacts tab]]
			People may be added to your list of contacts (or blocked from contacting you) by clicking the "Add contact" (or "Block contact") icon opposite their name in the Messages window.

			By default the contact list is empty. In order to send a message or to create a shortcut to the person you are sending, go to the Search tab.

			==Message history==

			A record of messages sent to/from a person may be obtained by clicking the "History" icon opposite their name in the Messages window.

			==Message settings==
			[[Image:MsgSettings.jpg\|thumb\|Message window Settings tab]]
			Message settings may be changed via the Settings tab in the Messages window.

			Here you can decide on having a popup Message window whenever you get a new message, blocking messages from people who are not on your Contacts list, having an audio signal for a new message, using a HTML editor, or getting email messages when you are offline.

			Note: It's possible to set a different email address for receiving copies of messages to the email address in your profile.
