- The delay-time command specifies the time to wait after the completion of one
polling sequence before the poller starts the next one. A polling sequence is the time to retrieve
the messages plus the time to complete their processing.Note: Some mail servers restrict the number of times an account can establish a connection during a specific time period. Make sure that the configured interval complies with any restriction.
Use the max-messages-per-poll command to set the number of messages to retrieve and process during a polling sequence.
