This basic free version is only useful for developers that can extend it and use it in their code. If you want to use it in full capacity, consider getting [plus version](https://shop.milandinic.com/downloads/simple-email-queue-plus/). ### Usage First, you need to set what is maximum number of emails that can be sent in a given period. By default, it sends 10 emails in 6 minutes. This means that if you want to send 15 emails in 6 minutes, only 10 emails are sent while rest 5 emails are put in queue and sent in the next period, after 6th minute has passed. You can change this limits by using filters from you code. Filter `simple_email_queue_max` is used to set maximum number of emails that are sent in period. It expects positive integer to be passed. To change period length, you can use filter `simple_email_queue_interval`. It also expects positive integer to be passed but please take care that this number is of seconds, not minutes (for example, if your period is 30 minutes, you would pass ` 1800`). Different hosts use different limits. Please consult your host’s documentation or support to find this out. If you want user interface in your admin area, use [plus version](https://shop.milandinic.com/downloads/simple-email-queue-plus/). To use this limits, you need to use function `simple_email_queue_add()` instead of built-in function `wp_mail()`. Both accept same parameters. Emails that are sent using `wp_mail()` function are not sent using queue and are not counted for limits. If you want that all emails are sent using queue, even those sent using ` wp_mail()` function, use [plus version](https://shop.milandinic.com/downloads/simple-email-queue-plus/).

The software consists of two plugins “Simple Email Queue” and “Simple Email Queue Plus”, the last one just costs 10$ and does a great job. In the Settings you can define the interval in seconds of sending eMails and in the second field you can define the max number of eMails to send for the defined interval. It works great even with other plugin. If you have question, just ask Milan the developer. Milan is very competent and provides excellent support. I’m excited!
