 * Hi,
    I recently installed Postie but am having a few issues and wonder if you
   can help. I set everything up and as a test have linked this to my persona email.
   In the future I want to set this up on a clients website so they can email posts
   to their site. I ran the test and got the following:
 * _Postie Configuration Test
    Clock Tests This shows what time it would be if you
   posted right now
 * Post time: 2015-09-08 00:15:31
    Connect to Mail Host Successful IMAP-SSL connection
   on port 993 # of waiting messages: 965
 * When I go to run Postie I get this message
 * _504 Gateway Time-out
    nginx
 * If you need any further information please let me know.
    Thanks Sam

 * What is your “Maximum number of emails to process” setting. You may want to dial
   it down to 25. I suspect PHP is timing out because Postie is trying to process
   all 965 emails.
