Date Based Actions - Send an email in the future

I would like to add fuctionality to an application I developed where an email can be sent based upon an effective date entered by the user. The email functionality is working, but I'm not sure how to approach sending an email in the future. Are there guidelines in Java for doing this?
Thanks.

Hello
I assume that you are using some server to serve your JSP pages, where your email functionality is implemented.
If that is correct, what you need to do is run a thread permanently in the server. This thread should repeat itself,ie. execute, once a day at a specified time (or according to your requirement). You can do this by making the thread sleep for the period of time you require.
Once that is done; in the run() method, you can check the current date and send the email or do whatever else you need.
Just be sure to start the thread again if you happen to restart the server.
Hope that helps
Regards
Hari

  • Schedule Mail.app to send an Email in the future

    Hey everyone, I want to send an email in the future, for marking an anniversary of a friends daughters passing away. I Don't want to miss it and I don't want to have to compose a message last minute. I want to compose it NOW. Is there a script or something I can use to make Mail.app send the mail via my Gmail IMAP at a specified time?
    Thanks!

    I will say that Mail Scripts does work. I have used it for a couple of years and it allows me to create an email, save as DRAFT, then run the script for it to send it out in the future.
    It even still works on Mountain Lion 10.8.1

  • Serv. Desk: Action: send an email only when a value in a field has changed

    Hello,
    In Soution Manager 4.0, Sevice Desk, I would like to create an action which creates an email only when a value of a certain field has changed.
    - only in change mode relevant
    - only when a value of one field has changed (e.g. Message Processort has changed from Buss. Partner 4 to 5. Than a mail should be sent to BP 5).
    - it should only send this kind of email when the field value has changed in change mode. In other words: it should not sent the email e.g. when the status has changed.
    I tried all kinds of things but I do not know on how to define the COnditions for an Action, so I can compare e.g.
    if <old value> <> <new value>
    Any ideas or experience on how to implement this without major modifications ?
    Thanks
    Christian

    Hi Christian,
    check out my question on SDN.
    Email on Status Change
    it has details on how to send an email when the status changes. I believe you are going to have to do something like this for each of the fields you want to create an Action Starting Condition for.

  • Sending an email to the user if the WEBi scheduling failed in CMC

    Hello Everyone,
    Current scenario :
    I am scheduling WEBi report through CMC and the report is going to end user email as an excel attachment.
    Desired Functionality :
    What happens is if the scheduling fails due to some reason. The email does not go to the end user on a particular date and then he complaints.
    What i need here an email sending option that if the WEBi scheduling has been failed in CMC an email should go to the user saying : " The WEBi scheduling has failed. The team is working on it " . (This is just a sample message)
    So the idea is to send an email to the user when the WEBi scheduling fails in the CMC. How to achieve this ?
    Regards,
    Ashutosh Singh

    Hi Ashutosh,
    You can send an alert email to a group when the schedule fails to run by choosing the "A job has failed to run" option under notification.
    You can see this option only if you schedule the report through CMC.
    Regards

  • Sending an email using the gmail client on the iPhone

    Hello,
    When I send an email using the gmail client on the iPhone, the message I send then shows up in my 'in box' and not my 'sent' box. Mail app on my computer behaves in the same manner. Is there a fix for this?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi, its because gmail treats each message as a "conversation" rather than emails sent or recieved. so your sent email will say "from me" all in the same inbox. check this on the web based gmail...

  • Is there a way to send an email from the web gallery module

    Hi all,
    does anyone know if there is a way to send an email from the webmodule, for example to send the link where the gallery was posted?
    Thanks for any help.
    Bart

    I'm certainly not aware of any way, thus my post here (please cast a vote):
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom_sdk_email_support
    I don't know if you could get away with using LrHttp to open a mailto link.
    The only other option I know is to send data to your web server and have it send SMTP.

  • Sending encrypted emails from the iPad is not working

    I can't get sending encrypted emails working on my iPad3 running iOS 8.0.2
    Let me explain what I did:
    1. I created S/MIME certificates for 2 email addresses on my iMac in Keychain Access. One email address exists only on the iMac the other only on the iPad.
    2. I set "When using this certificate" to "Always Trust" in both certificates.
    3. I exported 1 S/MIME certificate (p12) and installed it on the iPad. Then I deleted this certificate and its private&public keys in iMac Keychain Access
    4. I exchanged public certificates between the 2 devices. I installed one certificate in iMac Keychain Access and the other in iPad/Settings/General/Profiles.
    5. On the iMac in the iPad certificate I set "When using this certificate" to "Always Trust"
    6. I tested whether I can send and receive signed and/or encrypted emails
    Results:
    1. From the iMac I can send signed and/or encrypted emails to the iPad.
        On the iPad I can read the encrypted emails. The signature is not trusted
    2. On the iPad I can send signed messages to the iMac. On the iMac the signature is trusted.
        I cannot send encrypted emails from the iPad to the iMac. The iPad doesn't know about the public certificate in iPad/Settings/General/Profiles
    So much for the straight forward part. Now it gets a bit more complicated and confusing.
    1. I deleted the iMac certificate in the iPad/Settings/General/Profiles. Then in iPad Mail I opened the signed mail coming from the iMac.
        I viewed the untrusted certificate in Mail and installed it. From this point on all signed emails from the iMac are trusted.
        Strangely the by this method installed certificate doesn't appear in iPad/Settings/General/Profiles.
        Furthermore I still cannot send encrypted messages to the iMac. This certificate installation seems to be used only to check trust worthiness of the signature.
        Installing on top the iMac public certificate in iPad/Settings/General/Profiles doesn't enable to send encrypted messages from the iPad either.
    To be sure that this problem relates to the iPad certificate management and is not related to an error by me I did the following:
    1. I transferred a p12 file for a certificate that I created in my iMac to a PC running Windows7.
    2. I transferred a p12 file plus its public key (.pem) that I created in my iMac to another iMac into Keychain Access. (I have not tested if the pem is needed).
    3. On the other iMac and the PC I made sure that the certificates are trusted.
        On the PC that means in the Certificate Manager the p12 needs to be in the "Personal" folder and in the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" folder.
        The public keys need to be in the "Trusted People" folder and the "Other People" folder. One can just copy/paste the certificates.
    4. In both cases I deleted the certificate and public/private keys on my iMac.
    5. I exchanged public certificates between the devices.
    6. I tested exchanging signed and/or encrypted emails between my iMac and the PC and my iMac and the other iMac.
    Result:
    1. I can send signed and/or encrypted emails to the other iMac and the PC
    2. The PC and the other iMac trust the signature from my iMac and can read the encrypted emails
    3. My iMac can read encrypted emails from the PC and the other iMac
    4. My iMac trusts emails with signatures from the PC and the other iMac.
    Everything is working as it should.
    After the above test I wanted to see whether I can set up encrypted email exchange between the iPad and the PC. Strangely iPad Mail recognized the public certificate from the PC installed in iPad/Settings/General/Profiles and allowed me to send an encrypted email to the PC. However, on the PC I was unable to read the encrypted email. And the other way around, encrypted emails send from the PC to the iPad cannot be read on the iPad.
    My conclusion from all this testing is that iPad mail encryption is still "under construction".

    I was able to resolve the above described problem to some degree. Setting up sending and receiving encrypted emails between iOS and OSX I have working.
    What is still not working is reading encrypted emails on the iPad/iOS8 received from Windows 7 PC. And sending encrypted emails to Windows 7 PC.
    The details about how I solved part of the problem are described here.

  • I need to reset my security questions but when I send an email to the rescue email it doesn't get to me its the wrong email. help?

    iTunes wont let me download any music and I have over $20 on my account. It says I need to answer my security questions but I don't know the answers. When I try to send an email to the rescue email, it doesn't work. It says the email starts with an "h" but none of my emails start with an "h". I also don't know how to edit the email. Someone please help!

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I need to send an email where the recipient opens the PDF file with a password,   can anybody help me and show me how to do that

    Hello,  I am trying to send an email where the recipient opens the PDF file with a password,   can anybody show me how to do that

    Hi surez,
    To password protect a PDF file, you need to use Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
    In Acrobat, you choose File > Properties when the document is open, and then click the Security tab to set up a password.
    Please let us know how it goes.

    I have finally set up a group in my contacts. Can anyone please tell me how to send an email to the entire group? running Mavericks on iMac

    Drag the entire group into the To: field of a new message. The group is in your Address Book. You've used a name for it, like My Group. You can simply start typing "My Group" in that To: field and it should appear in a context menu.

    My icloud email address is included in a friend's address group set up in Gmail.  When they send an email to the group, the email never gets through to my icloud address - why?

    They've always been able to send to me individually - just not when my email is part of a group or even when it's just included with several other addresses added one at a time.

    Reducing PDF file size or Optimizing PDF is the feature that is supported only by Acrobat Pro (desktop app that is not free).
    Optimizing PDFs (Acrobat Pro)
    Free Adobe Reader products (Reader XI desktop, Reader for iOS, Reader for Android, Reader Touch for Windows 8, etc) do not offer the capability.
