Scheduling automatic message delivery in Mail - help please.

Hi there.
I just have a quick question - how do you set up Mail to automatically send someone a message at a specific time?
For instance - email "[email protected]" at 8AM.
Is it something that you need to create an AppleScript for - or is this something that Mail has built into it?
Thanks for any help.

To attach an image modify the script as follows:
tell application "Mail"
set theMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {sender:"[email protected]", visible:false, subject:"whatever you want to put here", content:" and whatever you want to put here
tell theMessage
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"[email protected]"}
end tell
tell content of theMessage
make new attachment with properties {file name:"Main HD:pic.jpg" as alias} at after last paragraph
end tell
delay 3
send theMessage
end tell
This will attach the file Main HD/pic.jpg
Modify that as needed.

    I am no expert, but open your mail, go to the top of your apple bar click the apple sign then force quit mail, restart and it may work.
    I had this issue before and it was resolved.

  • NOW-Yahoo Mail won't move messages to folders. Help, please?

    Original iPhone with 2.0 software . . .
    When I try to move a message (from the inbox, for example) into one of my yahoo Mail folders, I get this message:_"Unable to Move Message."_
    Is this happening to you? Is there a solution??
    Thank you for your help.
    Allan

    Have you tried deleting the Yahoo account and readding it? Was it working earlier(with the update)? I know Yahoo has been very up and down with various things so possibly there might be a server related problem if it just started.
    You could also possibly try to reset the network settings and then try to move the messages.

  • Haven't got the button "write message" in mail, help please!!

    Please help, I cannot write any message on my iphone, there is no button " write new message", only "inbox"  etc...may be someone know about this problem. Thank you

    The new messages icon is located in teh bottom right of the screen, and should be visible in pretty much any screen except when replying to an email or if you already have a new email open. http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3caef30a
    If you don't don't see it, Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Iphone text message errors - can you help please?

    imessages that are sent are coming through from my email address and I cannot receive text messages sent directly to my number.  We are on a family plan.  When a text is being sent to one person, the other person is also getting the text.  Texting only seems to works if sent from an e-mail address and doesn't not send or receive to the phone #.
    Within the iMessage where is states:
    Apple ID : shows correct id
    You can be reached for messages at:
    Error  - with phone # grayed out
    Email - email address listed ok
    Please Help!

    Turned off iMessage and now it's working fine...strange

  • TreeMap class and message not understood issues - help please

    Can anyone help with this one please?
    The code is the start of a Map interface/TreeMap class to hold names as keys and addresses as values (both Strings).
    I think the instance variable and the constructor are correct, but the addAddress method throws an error
    Semantic error: Message addAddress( java.lang.String, java.lang.String ) not understood by class'java.util.TreeMap'.
    I can only guess that I've overlooked something quite simple? The line at the end of the code should read
    "Replaced "old address" with "new address" for "new name" and this should only display if the key already exists in the Map,
    hence the if statement. The keys and values have been declared as Objects for future flexibility. Sorry if this is all blatantly obvious.
    Also if I wanted to test this code and create an instance of the Addressbook class, what should my code look like?
    Many thanks.
    {code}import java.util.*;
    public class Addressbook
    private static Map<Object, Object> addresses;
    public Addressbook()
    super();
    this.addresses = new TreeMap<Object, Object>();
    public static void addAddress(String name, String address)
    if (addresses.containsKey(name))
    addresses.put(name, address);
    System.out.println("Replacing " + addresses.remove(name) + " with "
    + addresses.get(name) + " for " + name);
    else
    addresses.put(name, address);
    {code}

    If you're only going to store Strings in the Map, make sure you are specifying them as generics so that all operations return Strings by default.
    You don't need to use contains if you are going to replace a map value. The old value will be returned when you place the new one in. Should be quicker, since you're not searching for the same key twice.
    Do not refer to a static variable with this. it become confusing and could result in bugs. That said use static sparingly.
    The AddressBook should probably be an instance and all the variables and methods should be instance variable and methods.
    I don't know your requirements however so I'll leave this as a suggestion.
    import java.util.*;
    public class AddressBook {
       private static Map<String, String> addresses = new TreeMap<String, String>();
       public static void addAddress(String name, String address) {
          String oldAddress = addresses.put(name, address);
          if(oldAddress != null) {
                System.out.printf("Replacing %s with %s for %s%n", oldAddress, address, name);
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            addAddress("me", "123");
            addAddress("me", "321");
    }Brushfire,

  • E mail help please. Icon forever seems to be bouncing..

    My iLife 8 has been working well for the last few weeks. I have not made any other changes. Lately the web mail (2.1.3 version) icon bounces up and down when open and a box pops up saying:
    Enter password for account "POP account". The POP server"..." rejected the password for user "...." please re-enter your password, or cancel. Remember this password in my keychain.
    I enter my password and ask it to remember it. It works fine for a short while before getting me to enter the password again. Has anyone else experienced this. I have tried to look into mail prefs. to see if there is any adjustments to be made, but there seems to be none . Thank you.

    I think you've entered the wrong forum.
    Althought iWeb has the letters web in its name, it isn't a webmail application.
    Better ask again in the appropriate forum(s)
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=228
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=753
    Besides, Mail.app isn't a web application either, and it isn't part of [iLife|http://www.apple.com/ilife>.

  • Need Mail help please

    Using Mail. MacBook Pro. Hotmail is my POP.
    Attached PDF file of 37mb. I try to send the email, and I get: "Cannot send message using the server Hotmail. Message exceeds 49.1 mb limit." It's only 37 mb! The email has no text whatsoever. Just the attachment. I need to send this! Help! Thanks.

    Tried it. Hotmail says you can't attach anything more than 25mb. That may be the problem right there. Mac Mail thinks Hotmail can handle more than it actually can?
    Anyway, then Hotmail said I can send it with what seems to basically be their version of Google Drive. Bleh.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Lost all my photos and txt messages during last update- HELP PLEASE

    During the last IPhone update my phone went into restore mode and when it recovered all my photos, videos, and txt messages were gone.  I went to restore through old ITunes restore points, but they were gone too- all I have is one from 2011 and the one with nothing on it, and I have synced my phone hundreds of times since 2011.  Is there anything I can do?  I have a Mac, could I use Time Machine to go back to an old date, and possibly the ITunes restore points will be there?  Any help will be much appreciated!!!

    Did you fail to backup the device prior to attempting the update?  If so, any content between the last backup and when the update apparently failed will be gone.
    If the device has been used as designed, contact would be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.  Simply sync them back.
    Pictures and videos taken with the device are designed to be copied to a computer regularly.  Only a fool would expect a device so easily lost/stolen or damaged to be sole storage of their "important" pictures.

  • Apple Mail Help Please

    Hello all. I also am having a mail issue. It was working fine last night and when I woke up this morning, it stopped working. I am running mail 2.0.5 on 10.4.5. I am running Tiger through the original disks and have roughly 28GB of storage left from my 160gb hdd. When I try to open up mail, I get a constant pinwheel and it does not time out. I have tried to remove the plist and launch it and I have also tried shift clicking on mail like previous discussions suggested. I hope this explanation is detailed enough. I am new to the Mac world and don't entirely know how to explain myself any better. Any help would be much appreciative. Thanks.

    Let me paste in the instructions I give for removing the com.apple.mail.plist, and check to see if this is what you did? Also, do you have any email info set up in Internet Explorer preferences (even if not using IE)?
    There are some other things to try, but I want to know that you followed the right procedure on the plist.
    Also, did you mailboxes originate in Panther or earlier, and then converted when upgrading to Tiger?
    Paste:
    Quit Mail, and in the Finder open Home/Library and locate the Mail folder. Control-click over the Mail folder, and choose Duplicate -- then drag the resulting copy to the Desktop for temporary backup. Next, open Home/Library/Preferences and find the com.apple.mail.plist file and drag it to the desktop.
    Relaunch Mail, which will open as though new, and when prompted to import anything DECLINE. Instead, re-enter your account info, and Mail will re-discover the account for this account, and all should be well.
    Ask any needed questions, and keep us posted.

  • Premiere Pro CS5.5 has never started up... error message every time. Help please?

    Hi...
    I recently bought the Production Premium CS5.5 suite.
    Most of the programs work. (I haven't tried ALL of them. But the main ones -- Photoshop CS5.1 and After Effects -- work flawlessly.)
    But Premiere Pro CS5.5.0 doesn't open. Keeps giving me the good old error message: 'Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 has stopped working'. This is happening every time I try to open it. And it never gets past the opening screen. This is MIGHTY frustrating. And there seems to be no coherent advice on the matter anywhere on the Adobe Forums. Might just be that I haven't spotted it.
    I'm running a Fujitsu Lifebook T901, using Win 7 64bit Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
    Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2620M CPU @ 2.70GHz, 2701 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
    BIOS Version/Date FUJITSU // Phoenix Technologies Ltd. Version 1.04, 2011/02/17
    8 gigs of RAM.
    Please guys... what do I do?
    Operating System: Windows 7
    Printer model / driver version: Intel HD Graphics Family
    Video display card / driver version: 8.15.10.2246
    Has it ever worked? If so, what's changed? (provide comments in description field): No
    Same results with different file?: Not Applicable
    Same results with different computer?: Not Applicable
    Recent System Hardware or Software change?: No

    One problem appears to be that your T901 does not meet the minimum specification for Premiere CS5 - according to the Fujitsu specification sheet, its screen resolution is too low at 1280 x 800 - the minimum required is 1280 x 900.
