The Message Queue is particularly useful for ensuring that emails have properly been sent, for record-keeping, and for allowing you some leeway to delete messages should they have been sent in error[[Image:Message_queue_update. png|700px]]

||'''In Queue'''
||
Any message that is in the queue means that though it has left our SmartSimple server, it has not yet reached the inbox of the receiver. Although this limbo time is variable, it usually approximates 5 minutes or so. Messages in the queue can be deleted to ensure that they won't reach the receiver; a use case would be for a message that has been sent in error, such as an "Application Accepted" message. 
'''Note: '''Although the Message Queue is useful for this function, it is not best practice to rely on the Message Queue to void your mistakes. Be careful with activating or sending system-generated emails to ensure that wrongful notifications are not sent to users.

'''Note: '''The Sent list cannot confirm that it has necessarily reached an ''inbox, ''but it can confirm that it has been sent to the server.
The '''Sent '''area is a good section to check if you have a complaint about not receiving emails properly; the Sent list can confirm that an email was indeed sent, and in that case, the receiver should be directed to check the Spam mail in their inbox or the double-check their incoming mail.
