Now, the agent is configured to pull emails from assigned email queues.

Step Three: To manually pull an email, the Agent needs to change the Agent Workspace status to Offline. If the Agent is in Available status while trying to manually pull an email by clicking on an email to grab it, the Agent will receive an error message stating, "This action is not allowed in your current status."

Step Four: End.

Additional Information

Agent Assumptions: The Agent might assume that the Agent Workspace can be in Available status while being able to manually pull an email, which is not allowed.
