Alert for failure to receive email

I am running 10.5.6 and using the Mail.app for email and I would like to do the following:
Between specific times, I would like my computer to automatically check for a specific email every 30 minutes (it would be the same email each time). If within a 30 min period it has not received that email, I would like an email sent out to alert me via SMS.
This can't be done with mail rules alone and I was hoping to do it with automator.
If anyone has any thoughts on how to achieve this, I would really appreciate it.

IMessage is currently down and is acting up.
I suggest for now, you dont use group IMessage.
There is also a possibility that one of your devices your trying to talk to has a bug...
If IMessage doesnt work by Thursday, I would give Apple a call

  • Can I use iCloud for sending and receiving emails from my own domain name?

    Hello,
    Hope that someone can help me please.
    I have my own unique registered domain name. 
    Currently I am using the gmail server to transmit and receive email - I am using Mail on a MacBook, and an iPhone.  Works just fine.
    However, I was wondering if the iCloud can be set up to also provide this same function?
    If so how do we achieve this?
    Appreciate your comments and advice.

    Please ignore this question. Or tell me how to delete it.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Best!

  • Disable Popup Alerts While Writing Text or Email?

    Is there any way to disable the annoying alerts that pop up while you're in the middle of writing an email or a text? I'll be right in the middle of typing something and the alert will pop up; next thing I know I've hit the alert with my thumb and {{ whoosh }} off I go into some completely other place. It's so freaking annoying! But I don't want to disable the alerts all together--only while I'm typing. Alerts are the only way I know if I received a message since the iPhone has no blinking light or other reminder.  Anyone else annoyed by this? Any known fixes/workarounds/solutions out there?

    They're email alerts. When I'm typing a text message or email and I receive a text or an email, the alert for that text or email pops up right in the middle of my screen while I'm typing (see picture) so I accidentally hit the alert and either hit "Close" or "Options" by accident. If I hit "Options," I've sometimes accidentally hit "Trash" and then I have no idea what the alert was even for. I use my iPhone for business and I've lost opportunities because I've accidentally trashed things.
    Surely I can't be the only person this is happening to.

  • Verizon wireless iPhone 4 / can receive email cannot send on Road Runner

    Help! I just got my new iPhone from Verizon Wireless today and the consultant set up my email for me. I can receive emails from Road Runner, but I cannot send them. I have tried every setting on the Internet that I can find, but none of them work in order for me to receive email. I got this phone so I could send and receive email...I have read that a lot of people who have Road Runner email have the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I am not a techy, but I am usually able to describe to the support people the exact conditions under which errors occur. Why this issue that we are both having, as common as it is (do a search and you will see it everywhere), is not common knowledge is beyond me.
    To review my situation: If I was hooked to a Wi-Fi connection, I had no problem receiving or sending emails from my Time Warner account. Once I disabled the Wi-Fi switch on iPhone (as if I were out of range, traveling) and tried to send a message with my TW email account, I got the error message that it "could not identify" the server and then the email would go to my outbox.
    I think I have found the answer after about an hour on the phone: a call to Time Warner who eventually urged me to call Verizon about outgoing server settings, a call to Verizon who told me that the problem was with TW and their settings, a call again to Time Warner, and finally I received a call from Verizon tech support to make sure I got my answer from Time Warner! The short answer is: Time Warner has an issue/limitation (Perhaps with the 3G network?)
    *The second call to TW revealed what Verizon support suspected....YOU NEED TO BE ON A WI-FI TO SEND EMAILS VIA TW. No problem ever receiving--just sending.* I hope this sheds some more light on your situation. Not a major deal for me, (I'll probably use a gmail account), but it is good to know WHY something does not work. All parties were helpful and patient at least.

  • .mac account cannot received email

    OS X 10.10.2 , Mail  Version 8.2 (2070.6)
    I got a family pack .mac long time ago.  the main account use just find without any problem, but recently one of the family members account(which now each member account is individual now already) it has a @mac.com account still can login icloud and sent the email just fine, but this [email protected] cannot received any email,  I have test that [email protected] [email protected] can received email without anyproblem. Doest anyone know why this happened?
    thanks for help

    Hi Andy,
    No, I would recommend you to directly contact Apple, because it's anything but normal that you can use your @mac.com only for sending emails, but the other two "versions" with the ending @me.com and @icloud.com for sending and receiving email.
    With kind regards,
    David

  • Not receiving email alerts for CPUs

    I have set up my account with all the information and I have checked off the box to receive email alerts for the quarterly CPUs that come out and I am not getting the email alerts. I double checked my account and the box for alerts is checked. Is there anything that I am missing, ir is there any way to test this?

    If you have not received by tomorrow let us know. Also, keep in mind that MetaLink users also receive an alert, so perhaps your co-workers got that one.

  • Can you get reoccurring alerts for text and email received?

    Can you get reoccurring alerts for text, email an voicemail received? I am too dumb for my smartphone.......I have looked on the forums and cannot find an answer.
    I just got my Droid Razr Maxx HD 2 weeks ago and so far I can only find that the "little" green LED light flashes when have a text, email, or voicemail. That light is pathetic..really I can barely see it?
    Is there a way to make an audible alert the reoccurrs?
    Thank you.

    You may want to search for an app in Google Play.

  • SCOM 2012 SP1 Can't get email alerts for Heartbeat Failure or Computer Unreachable when combined with Group.

    Hello,
    I have SCOM 2012 SP1 RTM POC lab.  I have created a dynamic group that picks up my system center servers based on some simple criteria and this works fine.
    I have set up a subscription for critical and high severity alerts originating from this dynamic group called SCOM Servers to send emails to a distribution.  This also worked well for any critical alert that was NOT Heartbeat Failure or Computer Unreachable. 
    I see those in the console but no email.
    So I set up a new subscription by right clicking on the alerts and here's the kicker.  If add no other conditions to these subscriptions, they will send emails to the DL I provided, but if add the condition initiating from group, and specify my dynamic
    group SCOM servers, no email alert.  But the alert still appears in the console.
    Any ideas on this?  I would like the appropriate support groups to get these types of alerts for the servers that they support (i.e. SCOM will get SCOM servers, Exchange Admin will get Exchange and never the two roads shall meet.).
    I even tried some internet posted custom management pack, but I couldn't import it after adding the code that he listed.
    I mean, isn't this a basic requirement for any mid-sized company?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Donald,
    Like Dan says you need to add the "Health Service Watcher" objects to the groups as wel. Unfortunately this cannot be done in the Dynamic group Editor but has to be done in the XML. Export the XML and add the following piece of code between the
    lines </MembershipRule></MembershipRules>:
    <MembershipRule>
     <MonitoringClass>$MPElement[Name="SystemCenter!Microsoft.SystemCenter.HealthServiceWatcher"]$</MonitoringClass>
    <RelationshipClass>$MPElement[Name="MicrosoftSystemCenterInstanceGroupLibrary7084300!Microsoft.SystemCenter.InstanceGroupContainsEntities"]$</RelationshipClass>
    <Expression>
    <Contains>             
    <MonitoringClass>$MPElement[Name="SystemCenter!Microsoft.SystemCenter.HealthService"]$</MonitoringClass>
          <Expression>
    <Contained>         
    <MonitoringClass>$MPElement[Name="MicrosoftWindowsLibrary7084300!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]$</MonitoringClass>
              <Expression>
                <Contained>
                  <MonitoringClass>$Target/Id$</MonitoringClass>
                </Contained>
              </Expression>
            </Contained>
          </Expression>
        </Contains>
      </Expression>
    </MembershipRule>
    Save the XML delete the old one in OpsMgr and import the edited.
    For SP1 the SystemLibrary version is 7.0.8430.0. If this is not your version you need to edit this in the code above.
    Hope this helps,
    Regards Marthijn van Rheenen

  • BODS 3.1 : How to trigger an email alert for the jobs on BODS server ?

    Hi All.
    I have this request.
    BODS 3.1 : How to trigger an email alert for the jobs on BODS server ?
    We have jobs scheduled on BODS running smoothly and absolutely fine.
    But to check, i am logging into the admin console and check for the jobs status.
    I would like to have an email to be received from BODS after each job is finished.
    It could succuessful. Or it could fail.
    Whatsoever, i wish to receive an email alert as soon as a job is finished.
    Can anyone advise me as to whether this could be made possible.
    And if yes, how this could be done.
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    In BOE CMC / for webi / schedule / we find an option to send email for a job success or a job failure.
    Is there any option similar to that in BODS ?
    Also would like to know :
    how to use the smtp_to or mail_to functions ?
    how to set up the smtp server for this ?
    thanks

    Hi.
    Since am new to this BODS. I need some help.
    I already have many jobs which are running absolutely fine.
    And when a job runs, and finishes, am able to see the trace saying
    e.g. :
    Job_abc is completed successfully.
    We got the smtp service activated for our test server.
    and we hae a group email id.
    I have put the details of the smtp server / ip address / and said apply restarted.
    The i created a simple test script as below :
    print (' Before email ' );
    smtp_to('abc@company_name.com', 'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has FAILED',
    ' the job has failed', 0, 0);
    print('After Email ');
    It does send a email to as per smtp_to whatever email is specified.
    But how to differentiate between a job success
    And a job which has failed.
    I wish to have a mail which says on the subject :
    'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has completed successfully'
    ==> IF it is a success
    OR
    'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has failed'
    ==> if it has failed
    How to make the system identify, whether
    to send a success message or a error message whatever
    Could anyone advise.
    thanks

  • Different alerts for email and sms messages for a contact with custom ring tone

    Hello,
    I have a Curve 8530 with OS 5.0.0.395.
    I have my default sound profile set up to play one type of alert sound when I receive and email message and another when I receive an SMS message (so I know the difference without looking at my phone). That works fine except for contacts that I also have a custom ring tone set up for. It seems that under the Custom Ring Tones/Alerts section of the contact there is only one entry for Messages and it applies to both email and SMS. If I have the contact's message alerts set to the alert I have for email, then their SMS messages play the same alert and I might think it's an email. Or if I have the messages alerts set to the SMS alert sound then their emails sound like SMS messages. Is there a way to have a custom ring tone set up for a contact but still allow their emails and SMS messgaes to follow the current sound profile's settings?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Have you had any luck resolving this issue. I had a 8230 and this was possible. But like you I can get the 8530 to work. If you found the solution, please let me know.
