Setting a followup for Sent email without a reply

Hi There,
I am using OSX 10.5.8 and Mail 3.6.
The problem I have is that I send that much email I often dont realize that some messages I send are never replied to.
I want a way to mark messages that I am sending, that do not receive a reply in a user definable time frame, to prompt me via a ToDo (or other method) to follow up the recipient(s) of the original email.
Or perhaps a script that someone has written that will allow me to go through by send folder and identify all emailed between date x and date y that have not had a reply to the send email.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Abrax

Each time it is run, the following script should delete the contents of a mailbox of your choice (the mailbox named "Unreplied messages" in the example) and copy into it every unreplied message of the "Sent" mailbox whose date is between a minimum date and a maximum date of your choice. I hope it can help.
--BEGINNING OF SCRIPT
set theAccountName to "the name of your account"
set minimumDate to (current date) - 28 * days -- four weeks from now
set maximumDate to (current date) - 7 * days -- one week from now
set theSentMessagesMailboxName to "Sent"
set theFollowUpMailboxName to "Unreplied messages" -- that mailbox must be created beforehand
tell application "Finder" to set alreadyLaunched to (process "Mail" exists)
if not alreadyLaunched then
tell application "Mail" to launch
delay 12 -- or longer, since Mail must connect and get mail before doing anything else
end if
tell application "Mail"
set theUnrepliedMessages to messages of mailbox theSentMessagesMailboxName of account theAccountName whose (was replied to is false) and (date sent > minimumDate) and (date sent < maximumDate)
delete every message of mailbox theFollowUpMailboxName
repeat with currentMessage in theUnrepliedMessages
duplicate currentMessage to mailbox theFollowUpMailboxName
end repeat
end tell
--END OF SCRIPT

  • Setting Display Name for sent emails

    Hi All,
    I want to set a display name for sent emails. For example: when I send emails using [email protected] and after receivign this amil in my inbox it says from [email protected] Is there any way that I can show display name for this like Kartik <[email protected]>.
    is there any API by which I can set this display name? Or this has to be done on mail server?
    Any help would be appreciated!!
    Thanks, Kartik

    it asks for a attribute messageFrom and passes it to SMTPTransport. I have tried setting different values for messageFrom like
    messageFrom=Test Email
    messageFrom="Test Email"
    but it didn't work for me. it expects a domain name there (even if its dummy) like
    messageFrom=[email protected]
    Can you tell me at which place InternetAddress is been called by SMTPTransport so that I can write my own impl for it.

  • HT201342 Are there any setting or some way to show notifications for new email without open Apple Mail app ?

    Are there any setting or some way to show notifications for new email without open Apple Mail app ?
    You know , I am an OCD . I alway's close my Mail app and miss many important new emails .

    What I do is open the Mail.app, then click the red traffic light (upper left corner of the main Mail.app window) to close that window. The app itself will remain running and you will get updates - this helps keep the desktop tidy while while the mail app remains running. When an update is received, simply click the either the mail icon in your dock or go to the Mail.app menu and click Window > Message Viewer.

  • Setting Importance Level for a email message using javax.mail.* API

    Setting Importance Level for a email message using javax.mail.* API
    From what I understand we can set Flag on Email Message. How can we set Importance Leve: High/Low for an email message?
    Thanks
    Purvi

    Most of the message Flags work only for IMAP mailboxes. POP3 supports only the DELETED flag. It must be understood that Javamail is a framework which provides all the features available in a standard mailing system. But whether or not a particular feature works is a functionality of the particular implementation being used.
    Thus for example POP3 cannot differentiate read from unread messages in a mailbox though Javamail provides that feature.

  • How Can I set up Thunderbird for multiple email addresses

    I am using Eudora 7 to handle 6 email accounts on a Windows XP SP3 machine. I want to install Thunderbird on the same machine and import the email addresses. I have Eudora setup to store the data files for each email address in a different data directory. This allows me to have a different icon on the desktop for each email account. Clicking on an icon starts Eudora with the email address data stored in a specific directory.
    What I don't know is how to have Thunderbird import the different email addresses from Eudora to Thunderbird and how to keep the individual email address data separate in Thunderbird.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I never used Eudora, so I can't tell much about it. In any case, I believe it's dead.
    Wrt multiple accounts in Thunderbird, there isn't much you can do wrong. Simply run the new account wizard and set-up the accounts you want (one at a time).
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-account-configuration
    If any of your accounts are POP ones, make sure not to enable Global Inbox to keep them separate.

  • Setting default account for sending email

    I have 4 accounts I use for sending email, but would like to have one be the default and can't figure how to do that. there is a check box next to the outgoing server dropdown that says use only this account. I don't think that is what I want, nor am i clear what that would do.
    Is there a way to set a preferred outgoing account?
    Does that require a plug in or helper app of some sort.
    thanks for any suggestions.

    In Mail>Preferences>Composing:
    Use Send new messages from: to select an account.

  • Can't set up mailbox for fourth email account on Mail?

    I have a Macbook Pro - Mid 2009 - 2.53GHZ, 4GB and 250GB HD.
    Running OS version 10.6.8.
    My specific question is this I am using Mail 4.6 and have already set up a primary email account and through time I have added an additional 3 email addresses. they are all from the same ISP. No problems so far until recently when I created a new email address through my ISP and tried to create a new mailbox on mail. For whatever reason I cannot access the new account and I have done the following steps:
    Made sure email address was correct and password too.
    Checked working mail preferences against the new email account
    Deleted one of the old working email mailboxes
    Phoned the ISP support and they checked everything
    Can access emails on the ISP webmail account
    Checked that SSL option was unchecked which it was
    After numerous phone calls to the ISP they have advised that I should phone Apple Technical support.
    As this computer is quite old I would need to pay £35GBP for this support.
    I cannot fathom why the previous mailboxes would work and now why subsequent new email accounts cannot be created on Mail.
    On previous mailboxes there would be a separate trash box for each account and in this case when I create a new account this is not created.
    Also the mailbox is greyed out and there is a warning symbol next to it.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    P.S I am thinking of upgrading to a Macbook Pro Retina and wonder if there is a simple way of transferring my saved email folders to my new mac?

    Both of these are wrong.
    I finally set up .me.com on my Mac
    The same settings on my ipad are not working.
    AppleCare had to walk me through a bizarre set of steps
    Those same steps apparently are different on an ipad
    But .mac, .me account that exist can migrate with all you old aliases.
    I will try to remember to log back in here and answer this when apple calls me in a few hours

  • Can I set up alerts for multiple email accounts? (...

    I have two hotmail accounts set up on my Nokia E71.
    For some reason I only get alerts for the second account I added.
    I have gone through every setting/preferance menu I can think of to see if there's a difference but can find none.
    Can anyone think of what I'm missing? If anything, I would have expected an alert for the original email.
    I want to make sure I am getting the maximum benefit and use out of this phone and email alerts would be great (I phoned my carrier's tech support and they said the E71 has NO alerts for any mails so that was clearly incorrect)

    Are you using the built-in email client?
    If you are, double check the "New Email Alerts" option. This is under <Settings> -> <E-mail> -> <choose mailbox> -> <User Settings> -> <New Email Alerts>

  • How do I set up Mail for ATT email?  It was previously working and does not work now.

    I had my ATT email working.  It will only let me set it up as an IMAP account via Yahoo, however the ATT web site says that I should be setting it up as a POP3.  Either way it's a no go.  Has anyone had an ATT IMAP email account that worked and all of a sudden decided not to work?

    I see dropdown menus for SMTP SSL and IMAP/POP SSL. I have them both set as "Require"
    Do not to this if your server is handling incoming mail from outside your network.
    Few remote mail servers will use SSL, so if your server requires SSL then you will not be able to receive mail from outside your domain.
    'Use', on the other hand, advertises the fact your server supports SSL, so clients and remote servers can use if if they like, but this still allows other mail in.
    What should "Authentication" be - "Login" or "Plain"
    Do not use Plain unless you absolutely trust all your clients (i.e. they're all on a LAN or all using SSL). Plain sends an unencrypted password over the wire, which is susceptible to sniffing.
    what will the client be using?
    Whatever you set it to.
    The client complains about a correct root certificate not being installed).
    Are you using a self-signed certificate? if so, you're going to get that unless you do a lot of extra work. Getting a real certificate from a trusted authority should resolve this.
    As for the slow connections, the use of SSL shouldn't significantly impact connection or delivery/transfer times, so something else is amiss.

  • Is it possible to set a bookmar for BT Email (@bti...

    Hi
    All my searches for info on this seem to always end up with info on the older BT Yahoo email rather than the @btinternet email.  I would rather have a bookmark straight through to BT Email rather than having to log in to MyBT and then access the BT Email link there.
    Is that possible?

  • Can we set future dates for forward emails for part time staff?

    We have a part time staff member who is off on wednesday each week.
    Can we pre-set a calendar function to always have their email forwarded to a support email address on all wednesday's so emails from customers do not get missed?

    I suppose a brute-force approach would work with a filter of the kind pictured below, as long as all Wednesdays were entered, but if the account could be set up as IMAP, then the mail could be viewed on any device at all times, including the days when action is required by another staff member.
    An IMAP setup would also display all replies on any device, made from any device, so that everyone would know when replies had been made to customers.

  • Set overiding rule for how emails are displayed

    I would like to apply the same rule to all my folders and subfolders, as a default if possible.
    My display is orientated as: Layout>vertical view.
    Sort by>Order received [Checked]
    Sort by>Decending [Checked]
    Currently they reset upon restart and have to be individually reset from the default.
    Many thanks

    Swipe down from the top of your homescreen and select Settings>Notifications. Near the bottom you'll see in blue letters Lock Screen Settings. Click that and toggle Lock Screen Notifications to ON. Now whenever you have an appointment in your Calendar, it'll show up that day on your Lock Screen.
    Cheers.

  • How to set up rules for emails to go to junk on iphone 4

    i have an iphone4 that i use for work and a coworker sent out over 40,000 emails which has now overloaded my email to where i cannot send or recieve emails can i set up rules for his emails to go straight to junk? and how my email address is linked to iphone4s and ipad as well.
    ps i did set up the rules on my desktop but it didnt seem to work or flow over to the iphone or ipad or maybe i just need to delete the emails? however theres literally 30,000 of them who do i do that quickly? please

    The Mail app on the iPhone doesn't support filters. You'd need to do that on the server side (not desktop). There is just no quick way to delete 30,000 emails.  At this point, I would remove the email account from your phone, delete the offending emails from your account, then add the account back to the iPhone.
    I would also report the co-worker to your IT department (if they haven't already noticed) for sending that many emails. I'm surprised that it didn't cause issues.
    Best of luck.
