Mercury Server "Errors" Message

The Mercury Server application resides on the computer designated as the TA-Tug workstation. If the Mercury Server is unable to communicate with the targeted email server, the system indicates that an error has occurred and, thus, the ## Unsent Emails Exist message appears within the Mercury Server Controls Screen and in the TransActPOS Notification area.

Go to the server (usually located in the back office).

The Mercury Server icon is located on the task bar and appears with the icon shown below.
