Thank you edwardds3, but this is not what I meant.
I know how I can using a queue or sharing resources but I would like to send a message to only one task.
Examples: I have task1, task2 and task3. And now I would like to send message from task1 to task2(and task3 dont't know anything that message). So same way as using a mailbox. I think that only possibility is use own queue between every tasks=> Queue1 for task1 and task2, Queue2 for task1 and task3 and Queue3 for task2 and task3.
Is this only way to do it?
