Send e-mail invitations?

How can I send invitations by e-mail to events using iCal?

Enter them as an 'attendee' in the iCal event and it will send them an invitation.

Please help, how to send mails faster / send more mails per hour

hello,
in my application i am using mail sender class i have created to send mail to the users to participate in a survey. following is the code for it. i would like to know if there is anything wrong in it coz it takes to much time to send the mails it is taking 2 minustes to send 6 mails i.e 360 mails per hour only.
following is how i instantiate the mail sender class and then generate a http link string dynamically as it is different for all the user.
//////////class where mail sender is instantiated////////////////////
try
setConnection();
st=con.createStatement();
rs=st.executeQuery("select * from "+CNAME+"_campaign");
String SurveyT = new String();
while(rs.next())
     SurveyT = rs.getString(2);
rs.close();
rs=st.executeQuery("select * from "+CNAME+"_user");
ss = new MailSender();
while(rs.next())
     String userid = rs.getString("userid");
     String password = rs.getString("password");
StringBuffer message = new StringBuffer(BodyText.getText().trim());
if(SurveyT.equals("invitational") || SurveyT.equals("single"))
                                        message.append( "\n" + "http://"+IPadd.getText().trim()+"/"+CNAME+"/servlet/login?username="+userid+"&passw="+password);
                                        ss.send(FromField.getText().trim(),userid,SmtpServerID.getText().trim(),MailSub.getText().trim(),message.toString());
else if(SurveyT.equals("general"))
message.append( "\n" + "http://"+IPadd.getText().trim()+"/"+CNAME+"/Index.html");
ss.send(FromField.getText().trim(),userid,SmtpServerID.getText().trim(),MailSub.getText().trim(),message.toString());

this.dispose();

Lots of variables here....Also my maths says only 180 per hour.... i.e. three a minute.
1) you are using a database to get info from. What is the average response time of the DB server? Looks like you are doing one SQL then reading the result table but does the initial SQL take a while?
2) how much data are you passing on to the SMTP server and how fast/slow is the link to that SMTP server? Work out the absolute max amount of data you can transfer over the link then get your average message size and work out a VERY theoretical Max number of messages a minute. Note that real life might approach 80% of this taking TCP/IP and SMTP overheads into account.
3) What sort of load is the SMTP server under? If it's busy you will be only getting a fraction of whatever bandwidth is available. Depending on its design it may be trying to deliver the first message you sent it while you are still pumping more messages down to it. SMTP servers may limit the number of connections per minute from another machine in order to defeat a denial of service attack. Your code makes a connection per email so this may have relevence here.
4) Raw horsepower always helps. When I write stuff to do things like this there is no nice GUI screen etc. Just basic Java that if it has to will write a log if something goes wrong. Maybe just maybe a counter on STD out to show it is still actually doing something. Keep the number of classes used down to the bare minimum. In the old days we used to spend days paring code to the bone - a skill somewhat lost these days.
Hope this gives you some help in finding the bottleneck.
Cheers,

No option to send e-mail to attendee

I can add my work e-mail address to the attendee field, which iCal recognizes and substitutes with my name, as it is included in the "me" entry in Address Book.
However, the option that should appear -- to send the invite -- does not.
If I click on "Attendees," the only option I get is to open Address Book, which, when taken, simply takes me to my "me" card.
If I ctrl click on my address, I get a list of options, with "Invite Again" grayed out. The bottom option "send e-mail" will initiate the process of sending a blank e-mail to my work address with no subject line or content.
At the bottom of the entry, there is an "Okay" button that is grayed out.
I see no reason I should not be able to use this function and have it work correctly.

Hellow shadowdot, welcome to the discussions.
iCal presumes that you know about your event, and so it does not make sense to send yourself an email. You should be able to add attendees other than yourself, and have them emailed. You should also be able to set an email alarm to yourself.

Is "Tell a Friend" e-mail invitation possible in iTunes U

In the iTunes Music Store, one can "Tell a Friend" about a podcast by clicking on the "Tell a Friend" link that appears in the upper right of every channel description frame. This leads to a forms interface that sends an e-mail invitation to subscribe to that podcast to one or more individuals or even to a mailing list (if the sending address is that of a subscriber).
So, is there a way to invoke this feature in iTunes U? The label might need to be different (Invite Subscribers instead of Tell a Friend) but the same functionality would be very useful to content developers.

Interesting question.
Just playing devil's advocate here, I think that such a feature would have to be "opt-in" by the iTunes U admin and individual content creators.
I guess what I foresee is a lot of e-mail, directed to me as an admin, complaining about "spam" if such a feature were made real at our site.
Not saying it's a bad idea though ... just the opposite. Just trying to figure the kinds of things people would bring up.

Cryptic sequence of numbers as sender name for invitations

When I want to send an calendar invitation to my business address, my sender name is a cryptic sequence of numbers instead of "first name last name". These are the steps:
1. Receiving Email form my iPad with the invitation
2. Download the attached ics to my desktop of the windows PC
3. Drag&Drop the ics to the Lotus Notes Calendar
4. The invitation is visible, the sender name is i.e. 2fjfu3oodsjdf90499fj993efj0ßßejfefjß39eß939hgsdlfnasdäfa9e9
I know that this invitation is from my private account. But what about friends I wanted to invite? Or should I invite only friends with apple equipment?!?! ;-)

Well,
Nokia MfE doesn't reply to my mails. I guess that only poeple using MfE v 2.09.158 who are not registered to the MfE Service (I guess you have to pay a monthly fee as it is with the Blackberry service) have the sender name problem. Of course you can use MfE with other mail providers than Nokia MfE. But in this case "Mail for Exchange" will appear as sender name.
I now switched over to MfE's competitor "RS" and don't have this annoying problem anymore. The alternative to RS would be using the old MfE version where I didn't have that sender name prob. But as my battery was empty after 15 hrs using the old MfE version (with RS my battery lasts 3 days !!!) there is no real alternative to RS!
This sender name problem seems to be part of Nokia's business strategy. As they want to compete with Blackberry they want you to register (and pay the MfE mail service monthly). Probably that's the reason why you get MfE for free (RS costs 50 US$).
Any comments on my theory?!

Creating e-mail invitations

I have never created an e-mail invite. I have quite a bit of
questions.
1. Should I use css (style sheets for text) or
css-positioning (aka. layers in Dreamweaver) in the invite? I've
heard that some e-mail programs will not accept css. Nor will they
accept javascript.
1.5 I use Dreamweaver to build my sites. How do I avoid using
javascript? I don't even know what it's used for. Is javascript the
css or css-p that I use to set text styles and position images??
What about behaviors? That's javascript, too, right?
2. Is it possible to create the e-mail invitation in
Dreamweaver?
3. I'm concerned about putting the html for the e-mail on my
client's website. If his e-mail is read and forwarded by lots of
people, it might go over the download quota set by the web host.
What can I do to prevent this? Should I have the client use myspace
or something to send his e-invitation?
4. Is there anything else I should know?
Thanks for your help.
Much appreciated.
-Rose

This may be useful to you: is recommended by quite a few
people on this

How do I choose which email address to send a calendar invite from?

I use iCalendar for business. I don't want to send company calendar invites with my personal @.mac account. Years ago I had a Bberry and could choose which email address to send it from while creating a meeting in the calendar. Is this not possible with Apple Technology?

Open Mail app. Click where it says mail on the upper left corner of the screen, choose preferences choose accounts tab on the top then select the account you don't want anymore and click the - button at the bottom.

4.2.1 Sending Yahoo Mail - delays in sending???

I've noticed since updating to 4.2.1, that my Yahoo mail takes several minutes to send the mail.
I don't have any concrete evidence, but something is surely different.
Is anyone else noticing a difference?

I also posted the same issue.
Looks like on Gmail and Exchange (Besides the 2003 calendar issue replying to invites) that only Yahoo emails seem to be impacted..
If you have a integrated hands free car system. Try being on a call and then switching between bluetooth on/off.. It just sits there and acts like it is trying to load the options..
But i feel your pain i hope they fix it soon.

Error while sending a mail using UTP_MAIL package in Oracle 10g

Hi,
We are using UTP_MAIL package to send a mail from Oracle 10g.We have follwed the following steps ...
SQL> connect sys/password as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlmail.sql
Package created.
Synonym created.
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME /rdbms/admin/prvtmail.plb
Package body created.
SQL > alter system set smtp_out_server = '<mail_server_ip:25>' scope =spfile;
System altered..
Now we try the code
begin
utl_mail.send(
sender => 'sender's mail',
recipients => 'receiver mail',
CC => 'optional',
subject => 'Testing utl_mail',
message => 'Test Mail'
end;
But we get the following error...
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29278: SMTP transient error: 421 Service not available
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 21
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 97
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 139
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_MAIL", line 405
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_MAIL", line 594
ORA-06512: at line 2
We also tried connecting to the mail server through telnet .But it is not getting connected..
Please help us to solve the issue.

From your own posting you may have the clue, if you try to access your mail server through telnet and it is not successful, it means the service is down or there are networking issues.
On pre 10gR2 versions there was a bug 4083461.8. It could affect you if you are on 10gR1
"Bug 4083461 - UTL_SMTP.OPEN_CONNECTION in shared server fails with ORA-29278 Doc ID: Note:4083461.8"
This was fixed on 10gR2 base and on 9.2.0.8.0

Need to send a mail back to the user in Sender Mail adapter Scenario

Hi all,
I have a scenario where the user fills the Price form or the Article form (which is a Adobe Form).When the user clicks on the "submit" button,the form is converted into xml , gets attached to the mail and sent to PI.
Now the user sometimes attaches the pdf directly instead of submitting the form. This results in the mail being sent
with pdf as attachment.
Now my requirement is to send a mail back to the user asking them to send an xml instead of a pdf.
How can this be done ?
Kindly let me know friends.
Quick Response is appreciated.

hi Sanjay,
Have a look on Michal's blog, it's for JMS, but it works for others: [PI/XI: Quick tip: Preserving attributes of XI messages via MultipartHeaderBean|PI/XI: Quick tip: Preserving attributes of XI messages via MultipartHeaderBean]

lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that

If I click on an e-mail address link in a web page instead of a blank message opening I always get a pop up screen with a log-in for googlemail. I do not have and do not want a googlemail account. I just want to be able to send e-mails using Outlook.

OUtlook was already set as the mail client for FF, and is my operating system (XP)'s default mail programme. therefore problem not solved at all. what I get whenever I follow a link in a webpage to send an e-mail is a little pop up window asking me to sign in to gmail or open an account. any other suggestions?

Mail invitations going into wrong iCal Calendar

I have been following the iCal invitation threads but have not seen this question or answer. I ham happy with the mail invitations automatically being entered into iCal (lepoard 10.5.2) and it seems to do it reliably. The problem is that all invitations are being entered into my wife's calendar not mine and since they result as un-editable event i can't move it. Is there a way to have imail/ical automatically enter the event but direct it to a specific calendar?
you may ask- my wife's calendar shows up first on the list of calendars in ical. i was planning on renaming it as i thought it may direct all invitations to the first on the list.

E72- Unable to send e-mail from work mailbox

I am unable to send e-mails from my work e-mail through my E72 although it receives perfectly. I have been in contact with Nokia via e-mail for the last 2 weeks and they have sent several suggestions to solve the issue but nothing is working. I have set-up my work e-mail on my husbands Blackberry with the same settings and can receive and send perfectly. From that I conclude there is no issue with the settings I have or my work e-mail but with
Nokia!! The latest 'help' I have received was to download a patch but I have no idea how to do this and get it onto my phone. So far Nokia have not replied to me.
Any suggestions how to get this to work would be greatly appreciated

If you're using a much older firmware, updating the phone would be a good idea. Find the Software Updates section of nokia.com and type your phone model. If you can't do an over-the-air update, download and install either the OVI Suite or the standalone Software Updater. This may hard reset the phone, so back up anything important with OVI Suite first.
Ignoring firmware for now, IMAP and URL's are like apples and oranges. If you work for a small company, the server may always be called " mail.mycompany.com", but IMAP will never use an HTTP or HTTPS prefix. URL's are typically associated with Microsoft Exchange servers. Within the email program, check Options -> Settings -> Mailbox settings -> Mailbox settings -> Advanced mailbox settings. Are "Outgoing email settings" set to something like
User authentication: Same as for incoming
Outgoing mail server: <compare to the setting for the Incoming server name; in a small company this will likely be the same>
Since you're getting far enough for the mail sever to reject your connection, the other settings should be fine as-is.
It does look like an authentication issue, so I'd say you're either hitting the wrong server or there's a bad username or password in there somewhere. If the Blackberry works with an IMAP connection, then you should be using the same server name(s), and user/password.
If all else fails, you can always try removing and readding the mailbox completely. Choose Menu -> Applications -> Email -> Settings -> <highlight your work account> -> Options -> Remove mailbox. And then set it up from scratch. I hope that helps a little!

URL link in send e-mail pl/sql procedure

I have a send e-mail procedure. I am trying to enclose in the body of the message a URL link with parameters from a form, but it is only taking part of it.
for example http://my.link&pid='||pid||'&uid'||uid
it only takes http://my.link
What is the way to do it successfuly?
Thanks,

Thanks for your replies. I still did not get it to work. For example if I stick to your solution with :
urlname := 'my.link?pid='||pid||'&uid='||uid;
where should I stick the try this?
I am using a variable called message.
'message: ' 'click on the following link' ||CRLF || urlname
This is is not working. Any clues? Thanks a lot. Jeanne
