Retrieves one or more messages from the specified queue, including the message body and message ID of each message. Messages returned by this action stay in the queue until you delete them. However, once a message is returned to a ReceiveMessage request, it is not returned on subsequent ReceiveMessage requests for the duration of the VisibilityTimeout . If you do not specify a VisibilityTimeout in the request, the overall visibility timeout for the queue is used for the returned messages.
