Email Monitor Service (Plugin) Settings
By default, the Email Monitor service, which is part of the Process Engine, checks for messages once every 60 seconds. You can change this value by adding the sweepTimer attribute to the EmailMonitor plugin XML in the Bluespring.ProcessEngine.exe.Config file (C:\Program Files\Bluespring BPM 5\ProcessEngine) with a value greater than or less than 60.
<plugin name="EmailMonitor" type="Bluespring.EmailMonitor.EmailMonitorPlugin, Bluespring.EmailMonitor" sweepTimer="60" threads="1" queue="net.msmq://./private/EmailMonitor" />
Additionally, you can change the default timeout and number of new emails processed per call. For the timeout, add the mailboxTimeout attribute to the EmailMonitor plugin XML and set the value to the number of seconds to wait until timing out when checking for mail. The default is X seconds. And for the number emails to process, add the messagesPerSweep attribute to the plugin XML. By default, the monitor only processes 25 new emails per call.
<plugin name="EmailMonitor" type="Bluespring.EmailMonitor.EmailMonitorPlugin, Bluespring.EmailMonitor" sweepTimer="60" mailboxTimeout="60" messagesPerSweep="25" threads="1" queue="net.msmq://./private/EmailMonitor" />
