Abstract
User computer software periodically queries a server for a compilation of information about the server and increases the frequency of the queries when the compilation indicates a deficiency at the server. Software monitoring messaging software on the server simulates the executions of a login procedure and a mail-reading procedure. A clock program used by the messaging software is monitored for accuracy and is updated if necessary.
