As you can see from the automatically generated schedules descriptions in the screenshot above you can define quite complex schedules - once a day, specific days in a month, at timed intervals, specific days, specific time periods, and so forth.

Multiple schedules can be defined for the same task giving you great flexibility and control over your automated tasks.

The Force dial connection box is only active if you have IceWarp Server set to use a dial-up connection. Checking the box will cause IceWarp Server to connect each time the schedule is triggered.

The buttons allow you to Add, Edit and Delete schedules, clicking the appropriate button opens the Schedule Task dialog, where you can choose when to run this task.
