Manual Send And Receive Mail

[DieBees]

Hi,

I would like to manually send and receive email when I connect to the internet on the wingate server, and cannot find this option.

I have wingate installed in a "portable office" that travel a lot and uses a lot of different types of connections. When it is connected to wireless, it's fine as the computer stay connected and the mail is received every 30 minutes. But when wireless or 3G is not available they connect via a satellite connection. They would like to connect, send and receive all the emails for all the users and then disconnect. Does the "retry all" button do this? Also, how can you see if there is new messages arrived for the users? It only displays out going messages.

Thank You!!!!

Hi,

The 'retry all' is to process the outgoing mail queue for client messages being held by Wingate for delivery.

Are you using 'Pop Collection' ?

If you are, about the only thing I can think of would be to reduce the collection time to a few minutes.

Thank you.

Yes Im using pop collection. But is is a bit silly though dont you think? How difficult will it be to add a "send and receive button"?

Also other things that would be nice:

Define mail size for certain connections. Meaning if the mail is larger than X MB dont send or receive when using dialup connection but only when connected to wifi or lan for example.

Display received messages in Mail window pane. Not only in the history log.

Thanks for the reply

Hi,

Well the developers of Wingate will read your suggestions and you never know, it could be out in Wingate 7!
