Throttling email and exiting PowerChurch

Post by tigerwillow1 »

When sending emails spread out over a time period, say 30 minutes as an example, what happens if PowerChurch is exited before they are all sent?
1. Are the unsent emails lost?
2. Does PowerChurch keep something running in the background until they are all sent?
3. Does sending stop, and resume again the next time PowerChurch is run?
4. Is the behavior any different with the online version?

Sorry if it sounds like a dumb question, but if we want to change to a different user, it requires an exit from PowerChurch.

It doesn't send the emails in a separate program/window, so if you close out before it's done, the rest won't be sent.

If you need to log in as a different user while emails are being sent, the best thing would be to just open a second instance of PowerChurch Plus and log in with a different user.

The sending process is the same in PowerChurch Online.

I might never have guessed about multiple instances running. Thanks.
