You will have to sign in your Second Life password if you are not already signed in.
About the same as with an IM. A notice on login with link to the message. If the option to send to email is on, the recipient gets a message in email with a link to the message. In either case, there is a way to reply. So nobody has to be inworld for the exchange to work. And so, nobody has the be running a big computer. Ipad or Android will do fine.
