Email syncs triggered by Send / Receive, Re-Import or Resync buttons and on login if \\\'check immediately after log in\\\' is selected, are now done in the background via eTrackTasks.

853.0 Change EC#5067 General Tidied up various configuration options and settings and tightened security in regards to access to delete functions. In this release the security group permission to override the setting that makes types delete protected has been turned OFF. This is in response to several cases where users with this override enabled have deleted high level items such as whole contact groups which is difficult to restore. Admin users may find that they now cannot delete various types in the tree. If you are an Admin user and cannot delete items that you should have access to delete you can go to Tools > Type Settings and for each type you need to delete untick permission #57 Admin Delete Protected. The config changes include unticking the Fixed Price flag where it is not required, adding Calendars if missing and disabled Timesheet and Assignee utilities in engineering databases.
