Unfreezing an Email in Queue

If an email fails to deliver after several attempts the system will "freeze" that email. The "freeze" is meant to help save system resources, increase queue runs, and reduce the chances of your mail being labeled as spam by the target email transfer agent.

The system will unfreeze the email once a timeout has been reached or you have unfrozen the email manually.

1. When a message is labeled as frozen an icon will appear, this icon will resemble overlapping white pages with a blue play button on top, click this icon. 
2. A new window will open and confirm that your message has been unfrozen.

Several frozen messages appearing in your Mail Queue Manager may mean that you should examine the log file (/var/log/exim_mainlog) to find the cause and solution to the issue.
