Message Scheduler

The Active Desk Message scheduler allows the user to define one or more email download schedules. Each schedule will be automatically executed using the rules and parameters defined by the user during the creation of the schedule.

For example, the user may define parameters such as maximum connection time and set a retry count in case of a communications failure. Other options include the ability to download only message headers or full message bodies, and to set a limit on the size of email to download.

After creating a schedule, the mail download will proceed without any further interaction from the user. During the retrieval of mail from a server, the Active Desk Message schedule will provide a status display such as that provided below. Progress information is also written to a session log.
