Options

Maximum push mail monitored folders (16-1024)

This is the maximum number of mail folders for each ActiveSync device that MDaemon will monitor for push mail.

Check push mail monitored folders every (5-60 seconds)

This is how often MDaemon will check each monitored folder for new messages, to push to each ActiveSync device.

Minimum timeout value (5-60 seconds)

This is how long a Ping Request must be, at the minimum. It is the minimum time required before the request times out and another Ping Request should be issued from the client.

Maximum timeout value (5-60 seconds)

This is the maximum amount of time allowed before a Ping Request times out.

PIM XML cache expiration (5-60 seconds)

Contacts, Calendar and Tasks are cached to reduce the workload on the server. This is how long a user’s data is cached after it is last accessed. The data is automatically reloaded if the data changes on disk.

Tarpit for clients causing errors (5-60 seconds)

When a device is causing errors, MDaemon will intentionally delay that client's connections by this many seconds.

Forget devices that haven't connected in this many days (0=never)

This is the number of days that an ActiveSync device can go without connecting to MDaemon before it will be forgotten. When MDaemon forgets a device, its configuration and access settings are discarded. If the device ever connects again, MDaemon will respond as if it is a new device that has never been used on the server. It will be forced to reprovision if a policy is in place for the domain, perform an initial folder sync, and re-sync all subscribed folders. This option can help keep your server free from maintaining information for old and unused devices. The option is set to 31 days by default.

Maximum window size (10-1024, default 100)

The option controls MDaemon ActiveSync's WindowSize element. It is the maximum number of Sync Command Nodes (Adds, Changes, Deletes, SoftDeletes) that can be sent to a client on a per collection (folder) basis. Using a low value in this option can reduce MDaemon ActiveSync's memory usage on a busy server, but it will require more connections and bandwidth. It can also decrease battery life because devices may need to make more requests to get all changes during a sync. Higher values in this option increase memory usage and are more susceptible to communication errors. The default value of 100 is generally a good compromise.

Log Level

ActiveSync Log Level

ActiveSync for MDaemon supports six levels of logging, from (1) Debug logging to (6) No logging. Generally (1) Debug logging should only be used to diagnose problems. The (2) Normal logging setting provides a good level of data and is the default setting.
