Let $f$ be a function on $\mathbb R^n$ whose Fourier transform $\hat f$ exists. Is there any relation between integrability of $\hat f$ and summability of the series $\sum_{n \in \mathbb Z^n} \hat f(n)$? Under what circumstances does one of these conditions (integrability or summability) imply the other? If the answer is not "always", what is an example of a function for which one condition holds, but the other does not?

For example (with $n=1$) $f(x) = \cases{{{\rm e}^{-\pi }}\cosh \left( x \right) & if $\left| x \right| <\pi$ \cr -{{\rm e}^{- \left| x \right| }}\sinh \left( \pi \right) &\text{otherwise}\cr}$ which has $\hat{f}(s) = \frac{2 s \sin(\pi s)}{1+s^2}$ Thus $\hat{f}$ is not Lebesgue integrable, but $\hat{f}(n) = 0$ for all integers $n$.
EDIT: In the other direction, $f(x) = \sum_{j=1}^\infty \frac{\exp(ijx - x^2/(4 j^4))}{2 \sqrt{\pi} j^2}$ has Fourier transform $\hat{f}(s) = \sum_{j=1}^\infty e^{-j^4 (s-j)^2}$ which is integrable but not summable.
