Message Queue - How to automatically send

Hi,
I got a question regarding the messages sent to the customer and shop owner after an order or registration. I got the problem that all my messages are queued and not sent. Is it possible to send the messages automatically ? Please help. Thanks for any advice.

The prupose of the message queue is precisely not to send the message immediately, because it would slow the response to the user (which is critical in an e-commerce site) and because if the e-mail server is slow or intermitent your users will see error messages that are not related to your store and start thinking that your store is faulty.

That being said is better to use the message queue, the code can be changed to sends messages immediately but it will be a lot of work, so I suggest you don't do it unless you have no other alternative.

The NopCommerce message queue tends to behave differently depending on the hosting service, I have a store where mails take 4 or 6 hours to be sent, and another store in the same hosting service where it only takes 5 or 10 minutes, it is one of the weak spots of Nop Commerce

Thanks for the quick reply. Hmmm yeah in that case it seems to be wise to keep it as it is.
Unfortunately I did not find out how to finally send the mails after they are queued, I already set up the Email but couldn't find a send button or something wirthin the message queue view. Up to now I managed to handle almost everything within' the admin tool, that's the only thing left.

Forget that. I already fixed it ,;). Emails are working fine now. Thanks for your help. Br AL

How did you fixed it?. I am having the same problem :

I am using version 2.3 and my mail in the QueuedEmail table do not get sent. I can send a Test Email but when customers register the emails do not get sent.

Is this a problem from my hosting (winhost) or a problem from nopcommerce. I have been looking at all settings and everythin looks OK.

Please help!

Sergio,

Are any e-mail related logs getting inserted into the log table? You can view the logs by navigating to your administration section, "System", "Log".

It seems to be a problem with Winhost, I have two sites there and in the first one it takes between 5 to 10 minutes to send the message but the other one takes 2 to 4 days, which plan do you have ??

I have share hosting.
