The Encrypted Instant Messaging service allows you to have a real-time, online conversation (or conference) between one or more VPN users.
The messaging between several ViPNet users is termed a session. All messages related to one session are written to one protocol that can be saved in a file. If a user sends a message from one session to the another user, any reply from the other user will always belong to the same session and, correspondingly, to the same protocol.
Several sessions can be running simultaneously. This means a user can be involved in more than one session. If a message comes from a user and it is not part of the current session, a new session will open and a new protocol is created.
New messages are messages that have not yet been processed by the user (ie. the user hasn't accepted, answered or deleted the message). The user can, however, read them in the New messages window.
Unread messages are messages that have not even been viewed by the user.
