Schedule Archiving:
MailSteward can be set to automatically schedule an archive of recent email. If you select the Scheduling panel in the MailSteward Settings, you can specify a schedule for automatically launching MailSteward to do an archive of new email. MailSteward should not be already running. The scheduled instance will not launch if MailSteward is already running. The schedule will launch MailSteward, archive all email starting on the most recent date in the database, and then it will quit when it is done. 
Archives can be scheduled by time and days of the week. They can be scheduled for any specific time of day, or every so many hours. After setting the scheduling options, clicking on the Schedule button will put an entry into the launchd service, which will tell the operating system to run MailSteward at the specified time and dates. MailSteward will then automatically archive email beginning on the date of the most recent email in the database file. As always, any duplicates will be skipped. The scheduling options can be changed at any time. Changing the options and clicking on the Schedule button will replace the MailSteward entry in launchd. Don't forget to click on the Schedule button. If the box to optionally leave a log file is checked, then a small text file with information about the completed archive will be left in the same folder as the database file, making it easy to see that the archive was done. If you don't want the log file to appear, uncheck this box. You can always look at the archive history by choosing it from the File menu. Clicking on the Remove Schedule button will delete the existing MailSteward schedule. |
