var n = 1;
$.each(uemail.split(','), function() {
    var data = {email: this.valueOf(), subj: subj, text: text};

    setTimeout(function() {
        $.post('http://.../email.php', data, function(resp) {
            alert(data.email + (resp ? 'ok' : 'error'));
        });
    }, n++ * 10000);
});

This way you won't have to take care about stopping the interval.

I think you want a line like this in your javascript: setInterval(function() {$.ajax{url:'url of emails.php'};}, 10000);

That will make an ajax request to the php page every 10000 miliseconds.

Here's an alternate approach if you don't want multiple timers running parallel.

    var uemail="[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]";

    uemail = uemail.split(',');

    var interval;
    var counter = 0;
    var check = function() { 
                            if(counter < uemail.length) {
                                // Send email post 
                                counter++; 
                            } else {
                                clearInterval(interval);
                            }
                };

    interval = setInterval(check,10000);
