Hi, I am trying to find out how to automate sending reminder e-
mails to various addresses.
I would like to be able to create an e-mail send it and then have
it sent automatically every month until I cancel it
I have had a look at the Applescript and Automator help menus, (for
the First time and I really don't understand them yet), but they
don't seem to address the problem of re sending an already created
mail on a continual basis.
Could some one point me in the right direction or if they have
already created a similar Script or Automate (?), let me have a
copy or the instructions?
Hi Matt,
The 'Schedule Delivery' Script from here 'might' do what you require.
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html#Tiger
"Schedule Delivery
The script will present you with a list of all messages in your
Drafts mailbox, allowing to set, change, and remove schedules for
individual messages.
The script uses iCal for scheduling the message deliveries (iCal
1.5.2 or higher is recommended) - it will create a new calendar
called "MailScripts" for message sending events. Please make sure
that your computer is running at the time you scheduled for message
delivery - if the computer was shut down or asleep, messages will be
sent as soon as the computer is running again.
Note: the scripts uses Message-IDs to keep track of which message it
should send. Since Mail changes the Message-ID when you change a
draft saved previously, you will have to re-schedule message delivery
after changing a scheduled message."
Cheers,
Ronni
