 =====Pausing Scheduling===== =====Pausing Scheduling=====
 At the top of the page you can **Pause** or **Resume** scheduling. Normal operation occurs when schedule is active (resumed). If you want to stop VPOP3 sending or collecting mail, then you can pause the scheduling. In this case, the only time it will connect to send/collect mail will be if you manually start a connection. (Note that pausing the scheduling does not stop incoming SMTP or LAN forwarding) At the top of the page you can **Pause** or **Resume** scheduling.

 +=====Manual overrides=====
 +You can tell VPOP3 to connect from the VPOP3 [[Status Monitor]] or from the [[Status]] page
 +
 +If you create a file called **CONNECT.NOW** in the VPOP3 installation directory, VPOP3 will immediately connect to the 'default' Connections
 +
 +If you create a file called **CONNECT.PAUSE** in the VPOP3 installation (in v6.1 and later), VPOP3 will not perform scheduled connections. This can be useful if you wish to start VPOP3 'paused' during problem diagnosis.

 +====Caution with multiple connections=====
 +Note that if you have multiple connections configured, then each time the scheduler 'triggers', all the connections associated with the schedule event will marked to connect. If or when VPOP3 is not connected to another connection, it will then go to the //first// connection which marked to connect.
 +
 +This means that if you have the schedule connecting every 1 minute, and you have it set to use 10 connections, it is entirely possible the later connections will never be used. VPOP3 may do:
 +  - connection 1
 +  - connection 2
 +  - (schedule triggers, marking connection 1 and 2 to connect again)
 +  - connection 1
 +  - connection 2
 +  - connection 3
 +  - (schedule triggers, marking connections 1 to 3 to connect again)
 +  - etc
 +
 +To prevent this happening, you should increase the time between the scheduled connections.
