Queued gmail email

You're referring to a Gmail feature called "Queued" emails!

When you send an email from Gmail, it goes through a process called "queuing" before it's actually sent to the recipient's email server. This process ensures that your email is properly formatted, authenticated, and routed to the correct destination.

Here's what happens when you send an email from Gmail:

1. Composition: You compose an email and click the "Send" button.
2. Queuing: Gmail adds your email to a queue, which is a temporary holding area for outgoing emails.
3. Authentication: Gmail authenticates your email by verifying your account credentials and ensuring that you have sufficient storage space and sending limits.
4. Formatting: Gmail formats your email according to the recipient's email client and server settings.
5. Routing: Gmail determines the best route for your email to reach the recipient's email server.
6. Sending: Gmail sends your email to the recipient's email server, which then delivers it to their inbox.

The queuing process helps ensure that your emails are delivered efficiently and reliably. If there's an issue with the email, such as a typo in the recipient's address or a temporary outage at the recipient's email server, Gmail will hold the email in the queue until the issue is resolved.

You can check the status of your queued emails by going to the "Sent" folder in your Gmail account. If an email is still in the queue, it will display a "Queued" status. Once the email is sent, the status will change to "Delivered" or "Failed" depending on the outcome.
