Scheduler

The Active Mail scheduler allows you 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. The same schedule settings are shared between Active Mail and Active Desk.

In addition to downloading new emails for the account(s) specified, the Active Mail scheduler will download any large emails whose headers have been marked for download. Plus if the mail account is an IMAP account, any folders to be synchronised will have the mail messages in that folder downloaded also.

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 Mail Scheduler will provide a status display such as that provided above. Progress information is also written to a session log.

Schedule Options

Some of these options available when configuring a new schedule or updating a new schedule are described below.

Mail account
Select the account from which the mail is to be retrieved. Both POP3 and IMAP4 email accounts are supported.

Authorise auto dial
This setting is used to confirm that the user authorises Active Mail to automatically make calls without any further confirmation at the time of the call. This option can also be used to disable a schedule temporarily.

Send outgoing mail
Whether to also send any outgoing mail associated with this account.

Limit connection time
A limit can be set on the connection time of a given download session.

Retries
A retry count can be set to automatically retry operations that fail (e.g. due to communications problems).

Schedule timing and repeat options
The start time of the schedule plus any repeat options (e.g. every day at 7am). The user can also set a number of restrictions such as to only execute the schedule on week days or during working hours.

Mail size limits
The user can limit the download to message headers only or message bodies with a size restriction. The user can also specify whether to move mail or copy it (i.e. leave the mail on the server)
