Read time longer than interval

Question / Problem

If checking all accounts takes longer than the configured interval does SmartPOP2Exchange wait the whole interval time or does it instantly start checking all accounts again?

Answer / Solution

When SmartPOP2Exchange needs more time than the interval allows that account will be directly process next turn again.
Youalso enter the max. messages to be downloaded from one account duringone turn. If three are more messages on to be downloaded as this max.value SmartPOP2Exchange will half the interval of this account for the next turn.
The download of mails SmartPOP2Exchange does is not parallel. So there will be not duplicate downloading of mails.

- Max messages: 10
1. account1 with interval 180 seconds
2. acoount2 with interval 60 seconds
3. account3 with interval 270 seconds

--time needed 10 seconds
Account2: 10 mails
--time needed 20 seconds
Account3: no mails
