Receiving mail from other users

How and whether you are notified when TSO/E messages are received by the system depends on how your TSO/E system is set up:
  • You may be notified when you log on or as messages arrive.
  • You may have to enter a RECEIVE command periodically to see if a message has arrived.

Unless the messages are automatically displayed when you log on, you enter a RECEIVE command to see your currently unread messages. For more information on TSO/E mail and messaging, see z/OS TSO/E User's Guide.
