Resume Queues

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

You can resume queues that are present on a computer that has the Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Hub Transport server role or the Edge Transport server role installed.

By resuming a queue, you restart outgoing activities on a queue that has a status of Suspended. The queue must have a status of Suspended for this action to have any effect. When you resume a queue, the status of messages in the queue doesn't change. Messages that have a status of Suspended remain suspended and don't leave the queue.
