Processes should (essentially) be directly attached to a server URL. With incoming email accounts and outgoing email accounts the errors are almost always problems with server connections. When a connection fails the group of actions running will often all block at the same issue, be it trying the connection again or waiting for user input. Therefore by creating a relationship of process to server with multiple actions in the process we can have a user interface where single actions are available to ''try now'' for all actions running in a process. | Processes should (essentially) be directly attached to a server URL.

An active process is always sorted at the top of the Activity Manager Window by start time while it is active. Once a process is finished it can convert to an event and then is sorted like an event. | ''Sort Order'' | ||
An active process is always sorted at the top of the Activity Manager Window by start time while it is active. Once a process is finished it can convert to an event and then is sorted like an event. If a process is in the Try Again state it is sorted above active processes and a process in the Waiting for Input state is sorted above all. | |||
