Communication Server

Overview

The Communication Server in the emailAI Pro engine allows emailAI Junior clients to communicate with it. emailAI Junior clients use the communication server to register which email address's that particular client should monitor and whether they are connected or not.

emailAI Junior is a client based notification tool that can let workstations or the same computer that is running the emailAI Pro engine show a little popup box near the sys tray. emailAI Pro Jnr contains a host of other features such as support for email ringtones, speech and voice email support.

The Communication Server is also used by the emailAI Pro Console to get the status of various items inside the engine such as if the POP Server / SMTP is running.
