Memory Management System 75
Memory Management System
The Timeport P930 Two-Way Pager internal memory management
system automatically performs maintenance tasks. These tasks
ensure sufficient memory is available to receive incoming messages
and to support your processing requirements. To maximize mem-
ory efficiency, messages are deleted in the following order:
Ä
Messages deleted during the cleanup process are not moved to
the Trashcan; they are permanently deleted.
Ä
Unread and alarmed messages are deleted from inboxes that
contain 250 messages or if the Number of Messages cleanup
option is selected and the limit for the number of messages has
been reached.
Trashcan — Automatically configured to empty each night at
midnight (you may specify the cleanup of inboxes and the Outbox,
as well); midnight cleanup deletes messages placed in the Trashcan
24 to 48 hours earlier. Messages placed in the Trashcan within the
last 24 hours are deleted at midnight the next day. The Trashcan
is the first container the system empties when memory space is
required (deleting as many messages as necessary to make room
for incoming messages).
Outbox — Deletes all sent/unsaved messages from the transmis-
sion area of the Outbox starting with the oldest message first. The
transmission status is retained but the text of each message is
deleted.
Main Inbox —Deletes all read messages from the Main Inbox
starting with the oldest message first.
Personal Inboxes — Deletes all read messages from personal
inboxes starting with the oldest message first.
Information Services Inboxes — Deletes all read messages
from each information service inbox starting with the oldest mes-
sage first.
Reminders and Alarmed Messages — Deletes any alarmed
inbox message or Reminder where the alarm has already gone off;
messages are deleted in the following order:
1. Main inbox
2. Personal inboxes
3. Information Services inboxes
4. Reminders
Ä
Alarmed messages that are set for periodic alarm (e.g. the alarm
goes off every week) will not be deleted.

Unread Messages — If memory space is still needed, deletes
unread messages from the inboxes in the order described above.
Ä
Messages in Address Book entries and locked messages are not
subject to automatic deletion.
When a warning message is displayed, the Timeport P930 Two-
Way Pager enables you to access the View Memory Usage screen.
Once you have determined the area where cleanup may be most
effective, you can select:
Cleanup All — Deletes all sent and read messages in all inboxes
and outboxes.
Cleanup Inboxes — Deletes all read messages in each inbox and
does not affect the trashcan or the outbox.
