Outgoing and Incoming Values Do Not Refresh as Frequently

ID: Q217978


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft BackOffice Small Business Server version 4.5


SUMMARY

The Manage Electronic Mail console provides a summary of e-mail flow and management in a BackOffice Small Business Server-based network. When Microsoft Exchange Server is installed on the Small Business Server computer, the Outgoing E-mail displays the number of outbound messages awaiting delivery in the Internet Mail Service Outbound Queue and the Incoming E-mail displays the number of inbound messages awaiting delivery in the Internet Mail Service Inbound Queue.

Messages from the Internet are received by the Internet Mail Service. The Internet Mail Service processes the messages by delivering mail to the appropriate Exchange recipient mailbox. Because the Internet Mail Service processes these messages quickly, this value generally reads "0" unless your organization receives large quantities of Internet mail.

Messages awaiting delivery to the Internet will appear more often because the Internet Mail Service connects on a scheduled basis and this queue reflects messages waiting to be delivered externally.


MORE INFORMATION

These values are automatically updated every 15 minutes. To update the values manually, press F5, or right-click the page and then click Refresh.

This behavior is modified from previous versions of Small Business Server where the page refreshes as frequently as every five seconds.
