Details

The maximum time to wait for an HTTP request or response from Exchange Server. For example, this may be used by the ex_scan action while trying to ingest a very large email that may otherwise result in import failing due to the operation timing out. This timeout is in addition to any server-side timeout configuration settings.

If this action is not called, the timeout defaults to 100 seconds.

Example:

ex_HTTP_timeout("60")
ex_scan()

This example causes the timeout to be set to 60 seconds. When ingesting emails, any response exceeding this value may fail.
