To enable recurrence:
1. Choose Send Later on Step 8
2. Enter a Send date: - the date & time entered is the day to start the email recurrence, the email will not be sent on this date unless it falls within the recurrence schedule.
For example, with the following setup an email would NOT be sent on 3/2/12 at 9:00 AM:
Today's date = 3/1/12
Send date = 3/2/12 9:00 AM
Recurrence = Weekly - Wednesday - no end date
The email is not sent on 3/2/12, because it's not a Wednesday.
In this example, an email would be sent on 3/2/12 at 9:00 AM.
Today's date = 3/1/12
Send date = 3/2/12 9:00 AM
Recurrence = Weekly - Friday - no end date
The email is sent on 3/2/12, because it's a Friday.
