7 Status Bar
7.1 Overview ¶
The status bar at the bottom edge of the main window shows important status information at a glance. It also provides a button that lets you trigger an immediate processing run or cancel a running run.
7.2 Display Areas ¶
7.2.1 Profiles ¶
Shows the number of active and total profiles.
Format: Profiles: X/Y active
| Value |
Meaning |
| X |
Number of enabled profiles |
| Y |
Total number of all profiles |
Example: Profiles: 5/8 active means that 5 of 8 profiles are enabled.
7.2.2 Log Filter ¶
Shows the number of log entries restricted by filters.
Format: Log filter: X
| Value |
Meaning |
| 0 |
No filter active, all entries are shown |
| >0 |
A filter is active, X entries are currently hidden |
Tip: If you expect to see more entries, first check whether a filter is active.
7.2.3 Log Entries ¶
Shows the total number of log entries across all tabs.
Format: Log entries: X
This number covers entries from all tabs of the log list:
- Successful processing
- Errors
- No match
- Postponed processing
- Unreachable email folders
7.2.4 Status ¶
Shows dynamic status information about the current program activity.
Possible displays:
| Status |
Meaning |
| Ready |
Program is waiting for the next check interval |
| Checking… |
A processing run is currently active |
| Next check in… |
Countdown to the next scheduled run |
| Processing paused |
Processing is outside the configured time windows |
7.3 Check Now ¶
The Check now button in the lower right starts an immediate check of all active profiles, regardless of the scheduled interval. During a running run, the button changes to Cancel processing, which lets you end the operation.
| Mode |
Button |
Effect |
| No run active |
Check now |
Starts an immediate processing run |
| Run active |
Cancel processing |
Cancels the current run |
Tip: The Check now button is especially useful after a profile change so that you do not have to wait for the next scheduled interval.
7.4 Notification Bars Above the Log Area ¶
Two additional bars can be shown above the log area when needed:
7.4.1 No Email Accounts Configured ¶
A red bar appears if no email account has been set up yet or the existing accounts are configured incompletely. Clicking the bar opens the account management window directly.
7.4.2 Processing Paused ¶
A brown bar appears when processing is outside the configured processing or business hours. During this pause no messages are processed; the program waits for the next allowed time.
