System Response and the Get Mail First Field

If the user has not been flagged to "get mail first," meaning the Get Mail First field located on the Userid Maintenance Detail Panel, specifies (N) No, the system immediately displays the TPX Mail Menu as it is shown on the next page.

If the user has been flagged to "get mail first," meaning the Get Mail First field located on the Userid Maintenance Detail Panel specifies (Y) Yes, the system automatically navigates the user to one of three options located at the top of the mail menu: Option 1 (Read your messages), Option 2 (Read the bulletins), or Option 3 (Read your messages and the bulletins). Refer to the following chart to clarify which option the user is navigated to:

Option	System Response
Option 1, Read your messages	Users are automatically navigated to this option, if they have a personal message waiting for review, but no bulletins.
Option 2, Read the bulletins	Users are automatically navigated to this option, if no personal messages were received, but bulletins are waiting for review.
Option 3, Read your messages and the bulletins	Users are automatically navigated to this option, if the user has received both personal messages and bulletins.

Note: At signon time, users are not connected to a mail session at all if the Get Mail First field specifies (Y) Yes, and there are no messages or bulletins waiting for review.
