If you have any mails that timed out after 1 or 2 days, you should re-send them, and now is the time!
Note that it says "Permanent failure" in that case, and not "Temporary failure" (The latter of which means: it's still on auto-retry)
Some mail servers auto-retry for only 1 day, some others auto-retry for 4 days. (I have no idea how many are one way or the other but I've seen both).
When a mail is on auto-retry, it may take a few hours until the next retry. Some threads may be received in the wrong order, but fortunately, the "Date:" field still works, etc.

i would say the time is "now" if and only if you already received a permanent failure. if you have not, then i would wait for the mail to be re-sent automatically.
i know that you do not claim anything else, however it seems to be not very clear.
