The mailbox attempts delivery approximately every 15 minutes. For
server-less mail, the messages are never considered undeliverable. You
have to manually delete items in your Outbasket to get rid of them.
Since server-less mail is never considered undeliverable it doesn't
matter if the connection is disabled or not. It won't affect the time
PowerTalk will wait for the destination device.
Direct AppleTalk mail and mail sent through PMSAMs will attempt
delivery indefinitely. Server-based mail is returned as soon as the
mail is determined undeliverable or after five days.
Mail with Waiting status in the out-tray isn't deleted automatically.
Mail with Done status is deleted after aging the number of days
indicated in Mailbox preferences. The only exception is when mail is
sent using a PMSAM and the PMSAM is removed from the key chain. In
this situation all mail sent to the PMSAM is deleted along with the
PMSAM.
