Messenger Pro User Manual
force Messenger Pro to prompt you for these details when the first fetch occurs for this account
after startup. Some servers support a more secure method of authenticating you such that your
login details are encrypted; if you want to take advantage of this then select the Encrypt login
details if the server support it option.
Where the account will import messages from a batch file, you may specify the name of the file
using the File name option.
Messenger Pro will connect to each account you’ve set up every so often as controlled by the
Automatically transfer messages every option which specifies a time interval between transfers
measured in seconds. The default is not to automatically transfer at all, requiring manual transfers
to be performed, but this will change to 5 minutes (300 seconds) when this option is first enabled,
after which you can change it to any interval you like. Please note, however, that some ISPs and
network administrators may consider it an abuse of service to check for messages too often, due to
the load this can place on the server, so it is not recommended to reduce this setting to lower than
the 5 minute default unless you have permission and good reason to do so.
The Advanced tab allows more advanced options to be set for the account, the selection of which
depends on the type of account you are editing (note that the illustration shows all possible options
but not all of these will actually be displayed). Downloaded messages will usually be deleted from
the server to avoid repeatedly downloading them, and to conserve disk space on the server, but this
can be disabled by setting the option Leave messages on server (where supported) in which case
Messenger Pro will attempt to remember which messages it has seen. If it can’t do this, because the
server doesn’t provide it with enough information, then deletion will still take place.
In order to speed up download times for messages that may not all be read, you can choose to fetch
only the message headers by enabling the Only fetch message headers; fetch bodies when asked
option. Messenger Pro will then download enough information to list the message in its group
viewer, but won’t actually download the message body until you try to view it, at which point it will
connect to the server and fetch the body, deleting the message if configured to do so. If you’re
editing an outgoing mail account then you can use the Make this your default send account
option to make the account the default for sending mail. This allows you to have more than one set
up without forcing Messenger Pro to guess which one it should use.
