Queues email sending from your site so that instead of being sent immediately it is sent on cron.
Useful for high traffic sites that can send a lot of emails on individual page requests.
Drupal 7
The Drupal 7 version supports sending with any email framework, i.e. it works perfectly with Mime Mail module or any other of framework that handles the actual sending of emails. It also uses a standard Drupal queue to do the queuing of emails. It requires at least Drupal 7.12.
Drupal 6
Queues any email sent from your Drupal site and then uses the Job queue module to send them via cron. Emailing only supports the PHP mail function.
Similar modules
Note that MailQ (only available for Drupal 6) is similar in goals, but implements the batching itself, rather than using the excellent Job Queue framework, and hence uses more resources and is more complex than Queue Mail.
