Overdue Email when using Workflow "Assign a task".

The new "Assign a task" action in SharePoint 2013 Workflows contains an option (under Email Options) to "Send Task Overdue Email(s)". You can choose the Frequency and Recurrence of the Emails. I have this set for a particular workflow,
but we aren't getting those Overdue EMAILS. (All the other EMAILS are working and I AM setting a "Due Date" on the task and the Task isn't marked as "Complete"....) I have read several articles on this subject and this
article was the only one that seems to address this (new) feature. It says to check the "Expiration" Timer Job (to see how often it is scheduled to run). Well, I only have one "Expiration" Timer Job and it is called "Expiration
Policy". I am pretty sure this isn't the right Job. Can anyone tell me what the name of the Job is that sends these Emails out?
Also, what is the "best" way to send out daily emails (reminders) for Tasks that haven't been completed? Should I use "Information Management" and kick off a Workflow that sends the email? (Something similar to what
this post suggests...) Or, should I create a Timer Job? I am certainly not opposed to writing code, but I would like to do this with OOB functionality if possible (and "practical").
Any help is MUCH appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Shayne

Has anyone "seen" this work? (bump)

Unable to send the email when ownership is assigned for a task using SharePoint

When we give any permission to the user through Group and People in SharePoint then that respective user gets an auto generated email, this is working fine for me.
But my actual problem comes here, I have created a task list in SharePoint when I assign a task to the person then that respective person did not get auto generated email. So please do help me with a right solution.

Hi Amit,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when you assigned a task.
Did you install any CU for SharePoint?
If yes, after an update has been performed, several Windows PowerShell cmdlets must be run in order to maintain the connection between the SharePoint Server 2013 farm and the Workflow Manager farm.
$credential = [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultNetworkCredentials
$site = Get-SPSite(<siteUri>)
$proxy = Get-SPWorkflowServiceApplicationProxy
$svcAddress = $proxy.GetWorkflowServiceAddress($site)
Copy-SPActivitiesToWorkflowService -WorkflowServiceAddress $svcAddress -Credential $credential -Force $true
After running the command, re-register the workflow service to see if the issue still occurs.

Send email when ownership is assigned' is not working

Send email when ownership is assigned'
is not working
even though this option is disabled designer workflow task creation sends an email to the user when task is assigned to the user.
We have october CU updates 2013.

Hi Amit,
Per my knowledge, if the task is created from a workflow, then you may use the task actions in the workflow.
And some task actions will send an email to the user who the task is assigned to, so the email is sent from the workflow and it is not sent from the option “Send email when ownership is assigned”.
If you are using 2013 workflow, the send email action cannot be prevented from the workflow.
If you are using 2010 workflow, you can go into the task process to delete the Send an Email action.

The problem is with the new operating system and sending photo via email when used in my iPad. From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow.

The problem is with the new operating system and sending photo via email when used in my iPad.
From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow. This is solved by saving the email as a draft and opening the email again from mail.
Can you amend he system to allow emails to be sent from photo as previously.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

Question about using email when using computer at internet cafe

I am confused about using email when using my computer at an internet cafe.
Of course - I use the internet cafe's wifi connection/network.
How does this effect my email?
what do I have to do to use my email when logged on at an internet cafe?

You don't give enough information to do more than discuss the issue in general terms.
You should be able to read your email wherever you can get an internet connection.
To send email, it depends on the email provider you are using. Gmail and other web based mail should not have any issues. However, if you are attempting to use an account that uses your ISP's mail servers, you will probably not be able to send mail. You may want to check with your ISP in that case, to see if they offer webmail.
Hope this may have answered your question.

SharePoint 2013 Workflow - Assign a task overdue email CC

In SharePoint designer the action of "Assign a task" has the option to send an overdue email, but the option itself does not have the property for CC in the email.
My list has a people/group column for the Head of Department and I would like to CC them if the task is overdue.
Any ideas on the easiest solution to add a CC for the overdue email?
Michéle Johl

Hello Michéle,
you might need to use the Email action to have CC option. In the below steps, uncheck "Wait for Task completion" in the Assign a Task activity so that it will create a task and proceed further. In next step we will check for the task status and
send emails everyday or what ever the interval you want. Disadvantage with this is even if task get completed within a day, it might not proceed to next step.

Variable text is blank in emails when using Scheduled Task to email event log notifications

I am trying to use powershell to email notification when a user account gets locked. I am running the script from a server 2008 domain controller.
I have tried multiple scripts and I have the same issue every time. The script works fine when I run it directly from the powershell command line window.
However whenever I try running the exact same scripts from an event-triggered scheduled task, the script runs, however any content that generated from a variable is not added to the email. It is just left blank and ignored.
I have tried adding lots of permissions including domain administrator group membership to the account runs the task from and it doesn't include all the expected text unless I run it from the built-in domain administrator account.
The task runs and the email is sent, but the email is missing all the content generated by variables.
How can this be fixed?
Here is an example script.
$AccountLockOutEvent = Get-EventLog -LogName "Security" -InstanceID 4740 -Newest 1
$LockedAccount = $($AccountLockOutEvent.ReplacementStrings[0])
$AccountLockOutEventTime = $AccountLockOutEvent.TimeGenerated
$AccountLockOutEventMessage = $AccountLockOutEvent.Message
$messageParameters = @{
Subject = "Account Locked Out: $LockedAccount"
Body = "Account $LockedAccount was locked out on $AccountLockOutEventTime.`n`nEvent Details:`n`n$AccountLockOutEventMessage"
From = "[email protected]"
To = "[email protected]"

By variable text I mean everything that it generates by using a variable such as the user's name ($LockedAccount)
and everything else such as $AccountLockOutEventTime and everything else that is generated from
a variable.
Nothing like that appears in the email only hard coded text.
I am not running it remotely. I am logged directly onto the domain controller and I tried giving
the account that is used to run the task more and more permissions including domain administrator group membership with the same result.
When I run the exact same script on the same domain controller locally via the powershell CLI all of the info appears.
This is the info when the email is generated by running the script directly from the powershell CLI:

I need to be able to copy text of a Gmail email I have sent and paste it in a new email when using firefox as my browser

hi everyone
I recently upgraded to the new firefox version. When using the previous version. i would copy text in emails I had sent and paste it into new emails. It saved me much time>
I am totally unable to do this with the newer version of the browser. There is no edit function on the tool bar that allows me to copy and paste.
any suggestions as to how I can cut and paste or save documents to use over again?
thanks

Hi, I had the same issue. My solution was to take the freeware-tool clickto.
So I'm now able to take any text, copy it and past it via clickto into a new mail.
[http://www.clicktoapp.com Clickto ]expands your copy-paste feature by showing you some "satellites" after doing the copy action. These "satellites" now will give you some opportunities to paste your copied content, for example a picture to facebook or a text to a new mail on gmail with just 1 single click.

How to prevent email when using find my iphone

Hi there,
Am I the only that finds the email confirmations annoying when using find my iPhone?
Is there any way to prevent these emails, or a preference somewhere to turn them off?

Apple:
Considering the threads here and on other Internet sites, this is clearly a safety issue. As a parent who uses this feature on my children's phone - this feature should be optional. Notifying the bad guy when you are searching for your phone/child is not an option. Thank you.

Line breaks in emails when using Gmail

*The problem arises because the iPhone uses "Plain Text" to send emails.*
*When using gmail, gmail automatically inserts line breaks in "Plain Text" emails every 78 characters, the reason why you see the breaks when unexpected.*
*See: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?id=4d1cecc1aab102ef&hl=en*
*To fix this problem:*
*1. Apple can allow us to send mail with Rich Text support from iOS devices OR*
*2. Google has to change the line breaks setting so that Plain text flows (and isn't broken) <-- this option is probably more realistic*
*I have tried from a hotmail account, sending email as plain text doesn't have line breaks imposed like the gmail account, but rather "flows".*
*If you want gmail to add a setting to disable line breaks in plain text emails:*
*Suggest the feature here:*
*http://mail.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=suggestions.cs*
*I chose these categories:*
*- I have another idea*
*- Sending and receiving*
*- - - Composing and delivery*
*- - - - Sending options*
*-For comments: Configure or disable plain text wrap length.*

I am having the same problem with an IMAP/SMTP account. It was a GMail account, I switched it to using the GMail auto setup and haven't had any issues.
But under the standard IMAP/SMTP setting almost 1/3 of all messages were showing no content.
Though I don't recall exactly - I think most of them were sent while I was on 3G, and it otherwise works fine on WiFi.
