The Messages window contains the compiler messages. It can also contain codetools messages, or linker errors, etc..

When compiling you can see messages appear briefly and vanishing. The IDE classifies the compiler messages. Messages like "compiling unit1.pas" are treated as "progress" lines. These are shown, but hidden as soon as the next messages is shown, so that only the important messages (e.g. hints, notes, warning, errors) are shown. You can choose what lines to show, see filtering below.

Click on a message to jump to the position in the source editor. You can set whether a double click jumps or a single click in Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Desktop -> Dobule click on messages jumps.
