A mailbox is a logical entity within Entire Operations and serves to notify users of pending input conditions.

A mailbox can be specified for an input condition and for a user.

When the input condition is not fulfilled for a job, Entire Operations sends a message to the mailbox. The user associated with the mailbox is notified when he calls the Main Menu and can perform the prerequisite task and set the condition manually.
