My bad; but you're complicating the problem by thinking about emails. In these cases its easier to start a new project and make a sketch of what you'd need. Example below, for a console-application.

VB
Module Module1
    Public Function MyEmailMethod() As Int32        
        ' we throw an exception, to test the handling and the retrying thereof.
        ' in the actual application an email would be sent from here.
        Throw New NotImplementedException("test")
    End Function

    Public Function TryMyEmailMethod(maxTries As Integer, Optional currentTry As Integer = 1) As Int32
        If currentTry <= maxTries Then
            Try
                Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Attempt {0}", currentTry))
                MyEmailMethod()
            Catch ex As Exception
                Console.WriteLine("Caught: " + ex.GetType().Name)
                TryMyEmailMethod(maxTries, currentTry + 1)
            End Try
        Else
            Console.WriteLine("I've tried enough, that damn server is ignoring me!")
        End If
    End Function

    Sub Main()
        TryMyEmailMethod(3)

        'halt execution to show result
        Console.ReadKey()
    End Sub
End Module
That would result in below output if you run it, showing the principle works as intended;
Attempt 1
Caught: NotImplementedException
Attempt 2
Caught: NotImplementedException
Attempt 3
Caught: NotImplementedException
I've tried enough, that damn server is ignoring me!
Your "NotImplementedException" would be the exception that the mail-routine is throwing, and you might want to log the lines where the above code is writing to the console; after all, if a mail-server stops responding, you'd like to verify that everything else worked as expected.

Making a new project allows to focus on the problem, without anything else bothering. It also makes reuse of the new pattern somewhat easier, IMO. Also take not that above code could encounter three different exceptions or reasons why it cannot send mail, without it giving much info yet on why.
