Now you have PredictMail set up on your DataHub and your device; it is time to test PredictMail works from start to finish each way your device could be connected and an email received.

Important Note: You must complete this step before you head offshore.

For this step, while testing, we highly recommend you have all of the following:

Each stage of this testing will validate that your PredictMail set-up works in a slightly more complex configuration. By working through these tests methodically, if you encounter an issue, isolating and resolving it will be easier.

This stage can be done anywhere you have access to high-speed Wi-Fi or cellular data using any single device.

You should receive the test email within a minute. If you do not receive it either manually sync the client, or close and reopen the app, allowing it time to resync upon load. If you still do not receive the email check your Spam folder, Clutter or Other inbox view.

If you still cannot find your test email please double-check your PredictMail client setup.

If you still cannot find your test email please check you have set up the incoming mail server settings correctly.

If you successfully receive the reply, then you can send and receive emails without the DataHub and are ready to move on to the next step.

This stage can also be done anywhere you have access to high-speed Wi-Fi or cellular coverage. If you have set up PredictMail on your mobile device, this step is best done with a laptop or tablet device too, for checking and using the DataHub.

As your device is connected to the DataHub, the email is sent to the DataHub and stored temporarily in the DataHub's Outbox until it connects to the PredictMail servers on the Internet, based on its connection policy, to send it.

Every time the Datahub makes a PredictMail Connection, all emails in the DataHub Outbox will be sent, and any incoming emails sent to your PredictMail account will be downloaded to the DataHub Inbox. The Connection Policy your DataHub is configured with will determine when a PredictMail connection is made.

To check your Connection Policy:

Is it important you understand how the Connection Policies for sending and receiving email. Please review the table below for a brief description of the options.

If your policy is set to Immediately on sending mail, then check the inbox for your alternative email address and you should receive the test email within 1-2 minutes of the connection being completed. If you don't receive it, manually send/receive, then check your Spam, Clutter or Other inbox view.

If, however, you have set up a GO! or GO exec using the Quick Start pages, and enabled PredictMail via Iridium and Poll on Tracking, then the DataHub will have set your transport to Least Cost (NET failover to GO!) and your policy to On tracking/polling interval. This will have queued your message in the Outbox to wait until it next connects to send your next position report.

Check if it is in the DataHub Outbox by clicking PredictMail on the left menu and Outbox on the top menu.

To manually prompt the connection and send your queued email for this test:

You should receive the test email within 1-2 minutes of the connection being completed. If you don't receive it, manually send/receive, then check your Spam, Clutter or Other inbox view. When you have received it, you are ready to test receiving email.

When you have successfully tested sending and receiving emails on your device through the internet directly, and through the DataHub connected to high-speed Internet, you are ready to move on to Step 4: Send and Receive PredictMail on an Iridium Connection with GPS tracking.
