2nd Ave 2.5 Auto get mail retries

Auto get mail with notification

47

If auto get discovers new messages but then fails for any reason, a notification

appears in the Reminders screen, displaying the account name and an error

message.

You can tap the error message or open the VersaMail application to that account for

more detailed information on the failed auto get.

If auto get discovers no new messages for an account, no notifications appear in

the Reminders screen for that account.

The Reminders screen displays only the most recent notification for an account.

For example, if one scheduled auto get failed but the next one succeeded and

downloaded two new messages, the Reminders screen would first display the

error message but would display the number of messages retrieved after the

successful retrieval.

Reminders screen notifications are specific for each account. For example, if auto

get fails for one account but succeeds in downloading new messages for a separate

account, the Reminders screen displays an error message for the first account and

a message indicating the number of messages downloaded for the second account.

Auto get mail retries

If the interval for a scheduled auto get is set at “Every 1 hour” or less frequently

and an auto get fails for any reason, the VersaMail application conti nues

attempting to retrieve e-mail at 30-minute intervals until either the next scheduled

auto get occurs or the end time for scheduled e-mail retrieval is reached. If the

interval is set for more frequently than one hour and an auto get fails, the

VersaMail application waits until the next scheduled auto get.
