 Paperless is set up to check your mails every 10 minutes. This can be
 configured via [`PAPERLESS_EMAIL_TASK_CRON`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_EMAIL_TASK_CRON)
 
+#### Processed Mail
+
+Paperless keeps track of mails it has processed in order to avoid processing the same mail multiple times. This uses the message `UID` provided by the mail server, which should be unique for each message. You can view and manage processed mails from the web UI under Settings > Mail > Processed Mails. If you need to re-process a message, you can delete the corresponding processed mail entry, which will allow Paperless to process the mail again the next time the mail fetch task runs.
+
 #### OAuth Email Setup
 
 Paperless-ngx supports OAuth2 authentication for Gmail and Outlook email accounts. To set up an email account with OAuth2, you will need to create a 'developer' app with the respective provider and obtain the client ID and client secret and set the appropriate [configuration variables](configuration.md#email_oauth). You will also need to set either [`PAPERLESS_OAUTH_CALLBACK_BASE_URL`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_OAUTH_CALLBACK_BASE_URL) or [`PAPERLESS_URL`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_URL) to the correct value for the OAuth2 flow to work correctly.
