Email Queue Management

Email Queue Management

Email Queue Management will list all emails sent from Retailer. These new features are available in Retailer 3.1 and newer version. Any that have sent successfully will be cleared from the list after 24 hours. If an email fails to send, a notification in Retailer will appear which will allow you to open Email Queue Management where you can see the error message, change the email address or resend.

On the top menu bar of Retailer, click to Tasks -> Mail Queue Manager.

The Mail Queue grid shows the details of all Emails sent from Retailer and their current status.
The list of emails will automatically refresh to the selected email. Using the keyboard up/down arrows to scroll will keep the selected email in view
