HT2488 How do I create an iCal Alarm to delay send an e-mail in my Drafts folder of Mail?

I've learned how to use iCal Alarm to schedule sending an e-mail.  However, all of the instructions I read say that I have to type the e-mail inside the automator's "New Mail Message". Is there a way to type the message in Mail, save it in drafts, and then create an iCal Alarm to schedule sending it?
I got as far as "Get Specified Mail Items" --> "Display Mail Messages".  This sequence displayed a message in Drafts.  What next to get it to send that message it displayed?  I tried adding "Send Outgoing Message" to the sequence with no success.  And I tried adding "New Mail Message" --> "Send Outgoing Message" to the sequence with no success.
Sometimes there will be several e-mails I want to delay send (some that I started earlier in the day, saved in Drafts and finished up in the wee hours of the morning) and it seems a waste to have to create a new iCal Alarm for each. 
Thank you!

    how do i create a contact list in adobe send from my email contact list and how do avoid typing individual email adresses

    Hi [email protected],
    The e-mail addresses will not be memorized in Adobe send but will be saved in sent items.
    You can use Adobe send outlook plugin to access your email contact list and send.
    You can download it here:Send Large Files Online - Share, Control, Track & Manage | Adobe Send

  • HT2488 How do I create a workflow in Automator or a script in AppleScripts to download an excel file from a specific webpage?

    I would like to create a workflow in Automator or a script in AppleScript (or a combination of the two), that opens Safari to a specified page and downloads an excel file from this page and saves the downloaded document to my desktop.
    Is this something that be done? If so, how?
    I have so far been able to build a workflow in Automator to open Safari and added an AppleScript that takes Safari to a specific page that has an Excel document.
    I can't figure out where to go from here... Any help would be apprecitated.
    Thanks!

    Would you have the web address the excel sheet is on?
    Is there a simular web page you could point to if not?
    Would there be a copy of the file on an FTP page.  This would be easier. 
    curl
    http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mac-os-x-terminal-download-file/
    http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/04/curl-examples/
    http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html
    Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
    # Press return to run a command.
    the curl is a terminal command ( Unix ).  It allows you to read a file off of the web.
    man curl
    provides cryptic information on the commnad curl.
    press the space bar to advance  a page.
    press letter to q to quit.
    What you may have to is to read in the web page as a text file.  Go "fishing" through the page to find the excel file you need.  Once you find the file, you can use curl to read the file.
    curl is a very full featured command.  (read complex to figure out ).
    It is easier to diagnose problems with debug information. I suggest adding log statements to your script to see what is going on.  Here is an example.
        Author: rccharles
        For testing, run in the Script Editor.
          1) Click on the Event Log tab to see the output from the log statement
          2) Click on Run
        For running shell commands see:
        http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html
    on run
        -- Write a message into the event log.
        log "  --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
        --  debug lines
        set desktopPath to (path to desktop) as string
        log "desktopPath = " & desktopPath
        set unixDesktopPath to POSIX path of desktopPath
        log "unixDesktopPath = " & unixDesktopPath
        set quotedUnixDesktopPath to quoted form of unixDesktopPath
        log "quoted form is " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
        try
            set fromUnix to do shell script "ls -l  " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
            display dialog "ls -l of " & quotedUnixDesktopPath & return & fromUnix

  • How do I create an ical server?

    I want to share my iCal between two people. I want each person to be able to edit events. Is there a simple free caldav that I can use?

    Hey there,
    I was looking desperately for the same thing...syncing calendars and address books between the family's computers. I tried a bunch of 3rd party apps and utilities that were less than spectacular. Even used Now Up to Date and Contact for a year or two...until I couldn't take it any more.
    The simplest answer to this was right in front of my eyes...
    .Mac
    Check it out, with 1 .Mac account, I put 3000 contacts and a 5 busy family calendars on .Mac and it works great. Everyone can add/edit/delete events & contacts and they stay in sync.
    I have no use for a .Mac email account or it's web page stuff, but reading up on the syncing did the trick.
    http://www.apple.com/dotmac/sync.html
    I'm pretty happy.
    PS - One small caveat, they're doing some maintenance to .Mac syncing right now and there's been some crankiness on the discussion boards, but in general, it's working for me.

  • How do i create two ical accounts.

    I've recenly brought a new mac. But both my boyfriend and i want to sync our iphone to ical without recieving each others notifications. Is this posible?
    thanks

    Beavis2084:
    Expired .mac accounts HAVE NO EMAIL. You own the id (which iTunes requests to be spelled in form of an email)
    Also, FREE .mac accounts have no email either.
    What you see in the screenshots is what I'm saying:
    There's been a change in the way iTunes wants you to login. The iTunes reps see at their end what you see at the top of the window, which probably is the "migration" of the new login: Old login system, using ID (in form of email for iTunes)
    BELOW you clearly see where says "ID" and both have the email as login.
    (again, that .mac email doesn't exist and NEVER DID)
    That's the NEW login: your EMAIL.
    I'm sorry I didn't explain it better the first time. I wrote about this so many times to iTunes support reps to prevent them to "read" what their system says that I gave it for settled. (not to mention that my first post was removed because "it lacks of interest for others"
    I own an apple ID, given away with the purchase of a new computer (nothing small by the way) and when that happens (and never subscribe for a paid membership), you use ANOTHER email to be related to your account.
    Now that AGAIN apple asks you for using your EMAIL (non-apple in our case) instead of your ID (which you can't use or you will never get a notification again!) the system believes there are two accounts.
    It's like your credit card bank changing the address for sending the payments. You are STILL paying, but getting a higher rate because their CHANGED the address and the check never arrives.
    In this case, signing in with a different string, makes the system believe there are two accounts. And that probably is under the policy which probably states purchases are not charged twice for SAME ID, and SAME iPhone… and you used a different ID, so it must be fair (sarcasm). Who told you to do so? Bad boy!

  • How can I create a schedule in Java for sending mail from SAP?

    Hello;
    I am coding a programme in Java which reads data from KM. I wish to schedule a job which sends mail to a list of persons selected from KM. I read the article by Prakash Singh and based my programme on his explanations.
    /people/prakash.singh4/blog/2005/04/20/did-you-know-you-can-schedule-jobs-in-portal-using-kms-scheduler-task
    My first problem is that I don't know how to send mail in SAP, and how to use Java to send this mail. My second problem is how to develop this "schedule job" function - is it enough to use Prakash Singh's method, or does it need to be changed?
    Can anyone help me with these questions?
    Thank you very much, R.E.

    Hi,
    I dont know about the CATS system. But when ur user selects the varaint, he should remove his own id and execute the query. This should display all the variants existing for that program. Then he can select the required variant.
    The user can also save this varaint under his own ID
    Hope it helps.

    Not possible. You can't put a folder of Firefox bookmarks on the desktop, and you can't access Firefox bookmarks without Firefox running.
    This shows what can be done with a Firefox desktop shortcut as far as opening specific URL's in tabs and windows. <br />

  • How prevent iCal ALARM reminders popping up when not wanted?

    Sometimes I don't want to see my alarm box popping up to remind me of things.
    Suddenly, & frequently, the pesky iCal Alarm box pops up in the middle of the screen with another preset alarm reminder, insisting on my immediate attention. Like when I'm watching a video on my mac.
    Then I've got to get up and move it out of the way, but as soon as I touch it, the video which I've set to full screen shrinks to small & I've got to click it to big again. This is just one of the inconveniences.
    Please, how can I set the iCal alarm to give it a rest for a while and save those reminders for later
    I've made lots of iCal alarms to remind me of things throughout the day. so these interruptions are a constant problem.
    Q#2: Why doesn't my ALARM BOX show active the Yellow Button so I could relegate it to the side Dock? Or even the Green Button, so I could enlarge it when I want to see all my open reminders without scrolling?
    Instead, My ical ALARM BOX only has the Red button, which closes it out and loses all those reminders therein until it's their time again.
    Oh, dear, I don't think anybody can solve this problem.
    Or
    can
    you?

  • How edit saved draft in Mac Mail?

    In Mail 7.0 under OS X 10.9, I have a message I was composing saved in:
      On My Mac > Drafts (Gmail)
    How do I open it for editing?
    No, it does not work just to click that item in the sidebar and then double-click the message in the right pane's list of messages (where it's the only one in this group)! When I do that, I cannot edit the message.
    Surely there's a way -- a wayI hope that's  somewhat more elegant than selecting and copying the entire body of the message, then starting a new message and pasting what I copied into the new one.

  • Ical alarm default email is incorrect, how do I change it to match "my card" in address book.

    When I create a new event in Ical the default email that appears in the ical alarm drop down menu is incorrect.  I have changed My Card in Address Book to match my new email address but ical still wants to use the old email address.  I have also completely deleted the old email account from Mail too.  Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    If you've updated the account to have the correct email email address on the other devices tap on the old id id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out of it and then log back in with the updated version of the account so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
