Folder Sync works great for users that are on Exchange Servers that are on the same LAN as MA.

Folder Sync appears to time out for users that are on Exchange Servers that are across a 1.5 MB MPLS WAN Link.

Is there anyway to increase the timeout for WAN Links.

Here is a capture from the logs.

Hi
from the above debug log there is no time out. Either the GFI MailArchiver 6 Core service was stopped or else the User Mailbox Synchronization was disabled from the Configuration page.

No there is no way to increase any timeout in the current released build but this will be available in the next build.

regards

I am not stopping the service or disabling folder sync in the event log.

It never moves on to the next user.  This just continues in the log in a loop.

Does this particular Inbox folder contain lots of items?

You can skip a particular user by creating an "Exclude Folder Policy" ad selecting * as folder name.

As to increase the delay time (although not suggested) you will need to wait for the new build.

It happens for all mailboxes that are on servers connected via the WAN.

This user has about 4000 mail items.

How long should that take.  I have let it run for over 24 hours......

4000 items are not much so it should not be of any problem (at least on a normal network).

does the UMPolling.ExPolling.log contain such a line?
"Polling seems to have blocked...Forcing termination"

Yes it does have that line

But when I test it says the account can access it.

Yes the problem is due to a fixed timeout which is elapsing. This timeout is there as a safeguard in case the synchronization blocks.

A test will only connect to the mailbox thus it will always succeed. My suggestion is to wait for the next build from which it will be possible to increase this timeout.

Don't have any definite dates for that, but it shouldn't be that long

There is no registry setting or xml file i can modify to fix this?

is it a mapi call to the exchange server?

I have LAN and WAN(5Mbps connection) users and the same problem, the difference is the problem occur for users on LAN too.

I got the the line:"Polling seems to have blocked...Forcing termination" in UMPolling.ExPolling.log and Folder Sync process stops.

To restart the Folder Sync process, works only if I restart the whole server, it does not start if you restart GFI services.

In build 20080924 (SR1) you can increase the timeout setting from Core\Data\ExPollingSettings.xml

change the value for MonitorPollingDelay
default is 10 (minutes)

It is suggested that once the whole structure is synchronized than this is value is returned to its default.
You need to restart the GFI MailArchiver Core Service for this value to take effect
