<p>A <b>mail</b> <b>queue</b> resembles a <a class="el" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__Message.html">Message Queue</a>, but the data that is being transferred consists of memory blocks that need to be allocated (before putting data in) and freed (after taking data out). The mail queue uses a <a class="el" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__PoolMgmt.html">Memory Pool</a> to create formatted memory blocks and passes pointers to these blocks in a message queue. This allows the data to stay in an allocated memory block while only a pointer is moved between the separate threads. This is an advantage over <a class="el" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__Message.html">messages</a> that can transfer only a 32-bit value or a pointer. Using the mail queue functions, you can control, send, receive, or wait for mail.</p>

 <h2>Working with Mail Queues </h2>
<p>Follow these steps to create and use a mail queue:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Declare a data structure that combines a number of elements: <div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="keyword">struct </span>{</div>
<div class="line">  uint32_t length;</div>
<div class="line">  uint32_t width;</div>
<div class="line">  uint32_t height;</div>
<div class="line">  uint32_t weight;</div>
<div class="line">} properties_t;</div>
</div><!-- fragment --></li>
<li>Declare a mail queue made up of these objects: <div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__Mail.html#ga58d712b16c0c6668059f509386d1e55b">osMailQDef</a> (object_pool_q, 10, properties_t);  <span class="comment">// Declare mail queue</span></div>
<div class="line"><a class="code" href="cmsis__os_8h.html#a1dac049fb7725a8af8b26c71cbb373b5">osMailQId</a>  (object_pool_q_id);                 <span class="comment">// Mail queue ID</span></div>
</div><!-- fragment --></li>
<li>Then, create the mail pool in a thread: <div class="fragment"><div class="line">object_pool_q_id = <a class="code" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__Mail.html#gaa177e7fe5820dd70d8c9e46ded131174">osMailCreate</a>(<a class="code" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__Mail.html#gad2deeb66d51ade54e63d8f87ff2ec9d2">osMailQ</a>(object_pool_q), NULL);</div>
</div><!-- fragment --></li>
<li>Allocate the mail queue within a thread and fill it with data: <div class="fragment"><div class="line">properties_t *object_data;</div>
<div class="line"> object_data = (properties_t *) <a class="code" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__Mail.html#gadf5ce811bd6a56e617e902a1db6c2194">osMailAlloc</a>(object_pool_q_id, <a class="code" href="cmsis__os_8h.html#a9eb9a7a797a42e4b55eb171ecc609ddb">osWaitForever</a>);</div>
<div class="line"> </div>
<div class="line">object_data-&gt;length = 100;</div>
<div class="line">object_data-&gt;width = 10;</div>
<div class="line">object_data-&gt;height = 23;</div>
<div class="line">object_data-&gt;weight = 1000;</div>
</div><!-- fragment --></li>
<li>Pass the pointer to the mail queue to another thread: <div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__Mail.html#ga485ef6f81854ebda8ffbce4832181e02">osMailPut</a>(object_pool_q_id, object_data);</div>
</div><!-- fragment --></li>
<li>Access the data in another thread: <div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__Definitions.html#structosEvent">osEvent</a> <span class="keyword">event</span> = <a class="code" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__Mail.html#gac6ad7e6e7d6c4a80e60da22c57a42ccd">osMailGet</a>(properties_q_id, <a class="code" href="cmsis__os_8h.html#a9eb9a7a797a42e4b55eb171ecc609ddb">osWaitForever</a>);</div>
<div class="line">properties_t *received = (properties_t *)event.value.p;       <span class="comment">// &quot;.p&quot; indicates that the message is a pointer</span></div>
<div class="line">my_length(received-&gt;length);</div>
</div><!-- fragment --></li>
<li>Once the data has been used, the memory block must be freed so that the memory pool can be reused <div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__Mail.html#ga27c1060cf21393f96b4fd1ed1c0167cc">osMailFree</a>(object_pool_q_id, received);</div>
