# Verify your message was successfully sent
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you send a message, it first goes to a Zulip server, and then the Zulip
|
||
|
|
server sends it out to all the recipients.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sometimes there can be delays if your device is on a poor network
|
||
|
|
connection. Zulip lets you know when your message successfully reaches the
|
||
|
|
server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Verify that a message reached the Zulip server
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Look for a **timestamp** (like `4:53`) on the right side of the message. If
|
||
|
|
you see a timestamp, the message successfully reached the server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can see what a message without a timestamp looks like by disconnecting
|
||
|
|
your computer from the internet, and sending a message.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## When to resend
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default, Zulip will try to resend the message when it is re-connected to
|
||
|
|
the internet.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If Zulip gives up (or if the Zulip server returns an error), it will
|
||
|
|
add two **red icons** (<i class="fa fa-refresh" style="color: red;"></i> <i
|
||
|
|
class="fa fa-times-circle" style="color: red;"></i>) to the right side of
|
||
|
|
the message. If you don't see the red icons, there is no need to resend.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you do see the red icons, you can either
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Click **resend** (<i class="fa fa-refresh" style="color: red;"></i>)
|
||
|
|
to attempt a resend.
|
||
|
|
* Click **cancel** (<i class="fa fa-times-circle" style="color: red;"></i>)
|
||
|
|
to delete the message.
|
||
|
|
* Reload the page to cancel all messages with the red icons.
