The Mail Queue page displays the messages currently in the outbound mail queue. By default it will display the messages present in the 'memory' queue, this is a section of the total queue which is currently loaded into memory. Messages start off in the memory queue, if they cannot be delivered immediately they are written out to the 'disk' queue to wait the retry period before being loaded into memory again.
Refresh - Will reload the page and redisplay the queue items.
Resend Queue - Will queue all the messages for an immediate retry.
When you use the Search command you will search the entire queue, not just the 'memory' queue. The search phrase matches the raw email content, including headers and any html formatting etc. The results are listed in exactly the same way as the default 'memory' queue items.

QNum | The unique queue number assigned to the message. |
