Logic embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable medium for execution and when executed operable to:

• determine when a first user has requested access to a first application;
• determine if there is a message for the first user when it is determined that the first user has requested access to the first application;
• inform the first user of the message if it is determined that there is the message for the first user;
• and
• provide the first user with access to the first application after informing the first user of the message after the first user has acknowledged that the first user has been informed of the message.

An apparatus comprising:

• a database, the database being a tangible medium, the database being arranged to store a message intended for a target user;
• a presence detection arrangement, the presence detection arrangement being arranged to identify when the target user requests access to a first application;
• and
• a message access arrangement, the message access arrangement being arranged to notify the target user of the message, wherein the message access arrangement is further arranged to provide the target user with access to the first application after the target user is notified of the message and after the target user has acknowledged that the target user has been notified of the message.

An apparatus comprising:

• means for determining when a first user has requested access to a first application, the first application being on a network that the apparatus is configured to access;
• means for determining if there is a message for the first user when it is determined that the first user has requested access to the first application, the message being stored on a database;
• means for informing the first user of the message if it is determined that there is the message for the first user;
• and
• means for providing the first user with access to the first application after informing the first user of the message, wherein the means for providing the first user with access to the first application provide the first user with access after the first user has acknowledged that the first user has been informed of the message.

A method of operating a message distribution system, the message distribution system including a database, the method comprising:

• obtaining a message for a first user, the message being marked as being associated with a first application, the message being obtained from the database, the database being associated with a network system;
• determining when the first user has requested access to the first application;
• informing the first user of the message if it is determined that the first user has requested access to the first application;
• and
• providing the first user with access to the first application after informing the first user of the message.

A method of operating a message distribution system, the message distribution system including a database, the method comprising:

• obtaining a message for a first user, the message being obtained from the database, the database being associated with a network system;
• determining whether the message is an urgent message;
• determining when the first user has requested access to a first application;
• informing the first user of the message if it is determined that the first user has requested access to the first application and it is determined that the message is an urgent message;
• and
• providing the first user with access to the first application after informing the first user of the message.
