Partial email account state

When trying to re-authorize your email, it might get “Partial” email account state for several reasons.

What is a Partial email account state?

Partial states are typically temporary and may indicate issues with the mail server. Accounts in this state, however, are still running.

One or more folders in the account may not fully sync currently or not sync mail at all. Typically, accounts recover and return to a full-running state.

Reasons an account may be in a partial state

  • It’s a new account and hasn’t finished its initial sync.
  • The account was recently re-authenticated.
  • The user deletes, changes, adds or restricts folders.
  • Slow network connections.
  • Low bandwidth on the email server.

Keep in Mind: Microsoft accounts with a large number of folders (>100) may enter partial states more frequently.

In general, partial statuses indicate a temporary issue with the mail server and accounts typically recover after some time.

Recovering accounts switch back into a full-running state as soon as possible.

Syncing emails from outside aNinja to the leads contacts

Once you’ve connected your email, and configured it with aNinja, as result, the email syncing is automatically processed: the system starts to automatically import the sent & received emails from your private email into your aNinja account.

Afterward, they are saved to the appropriate leads’ contacts in aNinja; even if you’ve sent those emails from outside of aNinja.

Configuring your email account

aNinja was designed to offer two-way email integration. This means that when you send emails from aNinja, they are automatically logged in the sent folders of both aNinja and your email account (Gmail or your mobile phone). Configuring your email account allows you to work on both aNinja and your email account in total synchronization.

Syncing emails to the leads’ contacts

When you import your contacts from your email account, they are saved as leads. And relatively the imported sent & received emails  are automatically attached to the matching email addresses in the contacts of those leads. Those emails appear in the history section of the lead in the lead view, listed in ascending order of the date.

History of emails

When you create or import a lead, if his email address matches your contacts saved in aNinja, then the system automatically adds the emails in the history section of the lead in the lead view.

Troubles in sending Bulk Email Sequences

When an email is no longer synced, an alert pops up in red on the top middle of the page as a warning to reconnect the email.

Failed emails don’t show up on the reports page, however, they show up on the logs page with an error status.
