Checking Mail

ZOE retrieves email automatically

ZOE automatically polls for new messages every three minutes.

How do I adjust the get mail frequency ?


change the ServiceAgent? time.interval value in the System Configuration/Configuration Editor. The time interval is expressed in milliseconds. Replace 180000 with 10800000 to check every three hours
reference: [Zoe-general]

To do this manually:

  1. Create a plain text file in %ZOE%/Library/SZ/Configurations/Default/ named alt.dev.szmail.SZServiceAgent.properties
  2. insert the following content: time.interval=180000


When using Zoe as a Pop server, how do I limit the number of downloaded messages?


If you are using Zoe as your Pop server, and you do not want to download all the archived messages, you can change the POPSession fetch.limit value to something other than 0 in the System Configuration/Configuration Editor. Setting the fetch.limit to 0 will download all the messages.

To do this manually:


  1. Create a plain text file in %ZOE%/Library/SZ/Configurations/Default/ named alt.dev.szpop.SZPOPSession.properties
  2. insert the following content: fetch.limit=20


If Zoe can't connect to a server, it will eventually disable that account. How do I change this?


Setting the ServiceAgent?'s failure.count in the System Configuration/Configuration Editor controls the maximum number of failures before disable. Set this to zero to prevent disabling? Or set it to a very very big number
