Answer

No. If you delete a sent eCard, it will stay in the receiver's inbox. Once you send an eCard to someone, you cannot take it back or delete it from their inbox.

Answer

You can send 1 eCard within a 24 hour period to EACH member. So that a member cannot receive more than 1 eCard from you in a 24-hour period.

The reason for this limit is that many members don't want their eCardbox flooded... even by someone they are interested in. Quality wins over quantity there.

eCards are for 'special' connections and occasions. Use mail for general correspondence.
