<para>Say you have constructed a brilliant email outlining tasks you wish your employees to complete while you are at the conference, but you will be
on an airplane when you wish the email to be sent. Use this feature to send the email at a precise date and time. To schedule the email to send later, first check the <guilabel>Delay</guilabel> box and then select the date and time on the <guilabel>Send at:</guilabel>
menu.</para>
<para>
If you need to send a weekly reminder email to your employees, you can configure it to repeat sending the message by checking <guilabel>Repeat every</guilabel>
checkbox and selecting the desired intervals.</para>
<para> You can put the message in your queued messages by selecting the <guibutton>Send Later</guibutton> button to schedule the message immediately.
</para>
<para>This agent works independent from &kmail; and does not need a running &kmail; instance or &kmail; being
in online mode to send scheduled emails.</para>
<para>If you have no network connection when a scheduled message should be sent, the agent will report an error
and ask if you want to resend it later.</para>
<para>At login to a &kde; session the agent checks the scheduled messages and sends all 
messages overdue since the last logout if necessary.
</para>
<para>To change the options for emails you have scheduled to send later, use <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu>
<guimenuitem>Configure Send Later Agent...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> in &kmail;.
