Hows this sound? Send an email that contains HTML button to update DB?

My thought is to send an email containing a link that when clicked it calls a page with several items and their values and the page has no authorization or authentication to update a record in the DB.
Can I send a session id or key to secure it as good as possible?
Thanks, Bill

We do this to confirm the email address a user has entered in a registration form. We write a unique code created with SYS_GUID() to a field in the USERS table, then send an email to the user containing a link that includes that code. When they click on the link, they are confirmed as registered and the activation code is deleted so that the link can't be used again.

    Hello Brian Delaney,
    It sounds like you are trying to send emails but for some reason, thousands show activity. I would start by re indexing the mailbox to help troubleshoot the issue:
    1.Quit Mail if it’s open.
    2.In ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData, delete any file that begins with “Envelope Index,” such as Envelope Index or Envelope Index-shm.To show your home Library folder, hold down the Option key, then in the Finder choose Go > Library.
    3.Open Mail.Mail creates new Envelope Index files. This process may take a few minutes, depending on how many messages Mail is reindexing.

    If the issue persists, I would next remove the account, restart the computer, and re add the account:
    1.Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Accounts.
    2.Select an account, then click Remove.

    Removing an Exchange or IMAP account doesn’t permanently delete the account’s mailboxes and messages because they’re stored on the mail server. To retrieve the account’s mailboxes and messages from the server, add the account again in Mail.
    To add the account again, click the  rather than the  as described above and retest the issue.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How can I send  PDFby email that is larger than 20 MB even after compression of file?

    I have adobe acabat X Pro.

    Each email service has its own limits, but that's way too big anyway. But there are many services for sending huge files. Here's one https://www.acrobat.com/sendnow/en/home.html

  • TS3276 How do I send an email and get a receipt that they opened it? I have seen this before, but don't know what setting to go to.

    How do I send an email and get a recipt that they opened it?

    Additionally, even if Mail supported it, the recipient would have to allow/consent to sending you the receipt - if I were the recipient, I would certainly not allow it. If you are sending legal or other very important files, use the "return receipt required" feature of US Mail - you will get a receipt that it was accepted with a signature.

  • HT1688 How do I send an email from my Iphone to a "group" that I have established in my Yahoo account

    How do I send an email from my Iphone to a "group" that I have established in my Yahoo account?

    So I have bought a couple of apps on my iphone and would like to transfer them to my itunes library, but not sure how.
    iTunes > File > Transfer purchases
    When I plug in my iphone and try and sync the two, I get a warning from itunes that everything on my iphone will be wiped and everything from my itunes library will be moved to it.
    Have you changed the computer you are syncing with?

  • No longer use this email account but how do you backup the email that is...

    No longer use this email account but how do you backup the email that is in the "example" folder, So that I can delete the account on my mail app?

    Not sure what you mean. Deleting a POP account only deletes the messages stored in the account’s mailboxes, not any messages stored in custom “On My Mac” mailboxes, if that’s what you mean. It’s not that Mail goes after your mail trying to delete as much as it can. It’s just that if a mail account is deleted, then its mailboxes cannot exist anymore...
    That said, instead of deleting the account right away, you can just disable it (i.e. turn OFF Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Enable this account), leave it that way for some time, and delete it only after making sure you didn’t miss anything while the account was disabled.
    BTW, if you back up your data, and the ~/Library/Mail folder in particular, you won’t have to worry about accidentally losing anything as a result of doing something like that...
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • How do i send an email to addressee and receive back a confirmation that the addressee received my email?

    how do i send an email to addressee and receive back a confirmation that the addressee received my email?

    Even if you find a way to send the request for a read confirmation with the email, you are dependent on the recipient's mail system and/or mail reading software to notice it and comply with it. Many do not do so, either because they cannot or because somebody has disabled (or not enabled) the feature.

  • How do I send an email message as an attachment on another email

    How do I send an email as an attachment on a second email.  The one I want to send is fraud and the company, Amazon, prefers it receive it as an attachment.

    Hi kaybiz516,
    It sounds like Amazon's email reporting process may be similar to Apple's. Given that, you may find the following article helpful, including the portion about forwarding an email as an attachment:
    Apple Support: Identifying fraudulent "phishing" email
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4933
    What to do with suspicious iCloud emails
    If you receive a suspicious email, select the message text so that it is highlighted. Choose Forward as Attachment from the Message menu (OS X Mail) or the Actions menu (Outlook). Send the email to [email protected] This provides Apple's legal department and law enforcement with useful information to help prevent future phishing emails.

  • How can I send an email to a group from my iPhone?

    I want to send an email to a group in my contacts, but when I select the group, the individuals display for selection.  How can I send an email by addressing it to the group? 

    I recently upgraded my wife's computer to mountain lion so we could sync it with her iPhone, allowing her to send emails to the groups she manages whether she's at home or on the road.
    Is it really the case that the iPhone is incapable of this?  The mac does it fine and the iPhone goes through the motions but then bails when you hit send, saying it isn't a valid address.
    This really makes no sense.  Isn't this the whole point of iCloud?

  • How can I send an email from my iPad3 to all of my contacts at once?

    I would like to know how I can send an email message from my iPad 3 to all of my contacts at once.

    If you have a Mac, and you have your contacts synced to your Mac (perhaps with iCloud), you could create a contact group on your Mac containing all your contacts and have that group synced to your iPad.
    Perhaps you can do something like that, depending on whether you keep your contacts somewhere else and what type of computer you have.

  • How can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?

    how can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?

    You used to be able to do this through leaving unchecked the box in preferences "when sending to a group show all member addresses". However, that feature failed some time ago (two or three years?) and the only way to hide the addresses now is to put the group in the BCC field.
