How to set SPD workflow to send email one day before the Due Date? ?

I need to add a step in workflow for a item tracking list: send reminder email one day before the due date.
I thought there is an Action in SPD: wait for [Due Date] to equal [Today]minus one day
But there is no way to do that.
I figured may be I need to create a calculated field [cal-date] that set to: =[today] plus one day.
Then in workflow -
wait till [Due Date] is equal to [cal-date], and send an email
What is the formula for the above calculated field [Today] plus one day?

Hi,
You can add an approval action( such as Start Approval Process) -> click "Approval" -> go to “Change the behavior of a single task” . Then you will
see the "When Task expires" stage.
You can have a look at the blog:

Workflow to send mail 20 day before the expiry date

Dear All,
I created a workflow to send mail when a calculated column date is equal to today as follows:-
Step1
add -20 days to Current Item:Expiry Date (Output to Variable : date)
then set variable : Notification1 to Variable : date
Step2
If variable:notification1 equals (ignoring time) Today
email users
Now when i add a new item to the list , the workflow status is set to In progress , and when i refresh the page the status is changed to Completed before the condition is met and!!
Any help
Regards

If I Understood your question correctly, you need to send email to user 20 days before expiration date.
From above you workflow I can see, you are just checking your condition once a item is created. As your Step2 condition is not met your workflow is completed without any error. I suggest you might want to try below workflow
Step1
add -20 days to Current Item:Expiry Date (Output to Variable : date)
then set variable : Notification1 to Variable : date
then Pause until Variable:date
Step2
email users
Above workflow design will pause you workflow till 20 days before expiry date. and then send email to user.
Please ignore syntax, I just tried to put logic.
Below is explantion on how to use Pause Action(from MSDN) in Sharepoint workflow
This action is initially displayed in a workflow step as Pause until this time.
Use this action to pause the workflow until a particular date. You can add a current date, a specific date, or a lookup.
Following are examples of what the action might look like in a workflow step,
Pause until 1/1/2010 12:00:00 AM
Pause until Variable: A week from Modified

How to set up ical to send email AND message alerts by default

How do I set up iCal to send me an email alert and a message with sound 15 minutes before the event by default so that I don't have to remember to do this everytime I add an event in iCal (which by the way I can't remember)?
Thanks for your help.

TS4000 How do I get reminders to remind me before the due date? To stay in the Notification Center?

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard. At first, I was excited to use the Notification Center with Reminders feature--it seemed like a more convenient version of Google Tasks, which I use as a catch-all to do list. In Google Tasks, you can clearly see an overview of what tasks you still have to complete, what's ahead, what's overdue, etc.
So I spent awhile copying the tasks into Reminders (which I resented--I don't really see why I can integrate my Google Calendar with Apple Calendar (or whatever you call it) but I can't integrate the tasks). Then, I opened notification center and nothing showed up. After awhile, I realized that your "reminders" only show up the day they're due.
I don't know about other people, but I need to be reminded about things I have to do well before they're actually due. Constantly.
Furthermore, what the heck is up with putting in a "Remind me on" field without putting in a "Due on" field?
This COULD be a great, convenient application that would help me keep my life organized. Something I would come to depend on.
Instead, it lacks some crucial, very basic, easily-implemented but not-thought-of features. As a consequence, I just wasted a bunch of time trying to get the thing to work, and I will be sticking with Google Tasks / GCal / Dropbox, thanks. Unless, of course, someone has a useful suggestion that will help me solve my problem(s).

Use BusyCal instead of iCal. Reminders will appear as you want them to.

How do you delete a rented film from Apple TV before the expiry date?

I rented out a film, but I don't want it to stay on the Apple TV, I have just bought it, but cannot delete it, there is no trash can on the screen, SOMEONE HELP!?

Have you watched it?
If so it'll expire in 24-48 hours anyway. If not start play and stop and it'll do the same rather than sitting there for 30 days.
Accidental rental or something?

Calendar: Setting an alert for more than "2 days before"?

I'm sure there is a way to set an alert for more than "2 days before" when creating a new event. Every PDA out there allows infinite options in this regard, yet I can't do this on the iphone?
How can set my iPhone calendar alerts for "7 days before" or something to this effect? Can I change the defaults? What can I do?

You can set the reminder in your computer, instead of on the iphone as the iphone's longest option is two days.
From the manual:
"Alert time—from five minutes to two days before the event "
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf

"The end date can't be set to occur before the start date" issue

I have a subscribed calendar that draws from data in a Filemaker database. In all of these records, the start date & end date are the same. When I try to refresh the description, it fails with a "NSCocoaErrorDomain / error 1560" error, and the console log shows "The end date can't be set to occur before the start date."
Well, it doesn't occur before the start date. It's the same as the start date. I can work around this by setting my Filemaker database to add a day to the end date, but that's a clunky solution.
Anyone else run into anything like this?
(iCal 4.0.3 and OS X 10.6.4, btw)

It may not be the same problem, but the message was the same (end date...etc). I tore my hair out at the time trying to solve it. It was on my fathers computer. Everything appeared to be correct and consistent. What solved it was logging into MobileMe/account/personal info/time zone, where I found the time zone was wrong. I can't remember the detail now but at the time it seemed like a third place where time had to be correct. Worth your checking there anyway.

Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL:
imap.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 993
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS:
smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name:
your full email address (including @gmail.com) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
Email Address:
your full Gmail email address ([email protected]) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
Password:
your Gmail password
The Quick Answer
Follow the instructions below to set up IMAP1 access in most email clients.
Google Apps users, please follow the default instructions unless otherwise noted, replacing 'your_domain.com' with your actual domain2 name.
this is all greek to me. WHAT IS STARTTLS? On the first page of Apple set up there is a TLS certificate and it is marked NONE- should I change it to the long APPLE CERT option? The next page under ADVANCED: THERE IS A BOX SSL MARKED. Then IMAP Path Prefix - I put stmp.gmail.com.. is that right? Port 993 can use this one? as 456 doesn't work and 587 said it wasn't safe. Under AUTHENTICATION I used PASSWORD. Should I have used external client cert TLS?
Please help me set this up securely. Thanks

Open the Calendar app, open the event, tap Edit and change the Alert times.
If you want to change the default time, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, scroll down to Calendars - Default Alert Times.

How to use java mail to send email to hotmail box

how to use java mail to send email to hotmail box??
i can send emails to other box(my company's email account) but for hotmail, the program didnt print any err or exception the recepient cant receive the mail.
thanks

you ust to download activation.jar and mail.jar and add them to your build path.
i have used the googlemail smtp server to send mail the code is following:
public void SendMail()
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.user", username);
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
props.put("mail.smtp.port", port);
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", port);
try{
     Authenticator auth = new SMTPAuthenticator(username,password);
Session session = Session.getInstance(props, auth);
MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setText(text);
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(senderEmail));
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(receiver));
Transport.send(msg);
}catch(Exception ex) {
     System.out.println("Error Sending:");
System.out.println(ex.getMessage().toString());
and this the SMTPAuthenticator Class which you will need too.
class SMTPAuthenticator extends javax.mail.Authenticator {
     private String fUser;
     private String fPassword;
     public SMTPAuthenticator(String user, String password) {
     fUser = user;
     fPassword = password;
     public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
     return new PasswordAuthentication(fUser, fPassword);
     }

How can I block myself from sending email to a certain email address?

How can I block myself from sending email to a certain email address? I am in the middle of a relationship ending and I want to RESTRICT myself from being able to send outgoing email to a certain email address. Please advise. I have no will power and I don't want to be engaged in back and forth email drama. Thanks.

Might sound kind of silly, but you could go into Contacts, the person in question, edit, and where it says Add Field, put somthing in like STOP, or DO NOT DO THIS
At least that would get your attention, even if it doesn't block you from emailing.
There just isn't much you can do to block yourself. If you have a couple close friends, do something like an AA support group...call a friend and have them talk you out of emailing.
I'm not trying to be smart alecky about this, actually trying to help, but there isn't much to offer.
