Background Information

Administrators can designate agents for the push mode. When new messages enter the system, E-Mail Manager pushes the messages to agents who are in the push mode. This eliminates the need for agents to access a queue to select messages. Additionally, E-Mail Manager displays each new message through a popup window on the screen of the agent.

A push agent must select Process Messages > Ready for Push to enter the push mode after login.

Problem

This section provides a step-by-step description of the problem.

1. A push agent logs into Cisco E-Mail Manager Option.

2. The agent selects Process Messages > Ready for Push to enter the push mode (see Figure 1).

   Figure 1 – Push Agent in Push Mode

   

3. A new message arrives, and enters the personal queue of the agent.

   However, E-Mail Manager does not open the message automatically through a popup window. The push agent has to go to the queue and manually open the message.

Expected Behavior

In push mode, when a message enters the system, a popup window must open on the screen of the agent to display the message automatically (see Figure 2).

Solution

This problem occurs because of a configuration issue. Complete these steps to solve this problem:

1. Run Sun Java Virtual Machine (JVM) 1.4.2 on the Cisco E-Mail Manager Agent Desktop.

2. Open a conduit for TCP port 8600 in case the Cisco E-Mail Manager Agent Desktop is outside the firewall.
