Dumb question of the day…my search skills must be shot because I cannot find a reference to this anywhere…
Is it possible, natively, without writing an agent, to schedule delivery of e-mail for specific times (ala Outlook)?
If not, is there an agent already written that can do this? I checked the sandbox, but didn’t see anything…
Finally, is any of this available in 5.x if not 6.x?
thanks

Patrick,
When a user sends a message with the “LOW” Delivery Priority option selected from “Delivery Options” button on the “Action Bar”, the message will be received by the router on the server immediately, but not sent until after midnight tonight (default setting).
To change the “Low Priority” delivery time on the server, change the servers configuration document in the field below:
This will allow the user to send the email NOW (i.e. 14:00) then “ditch” for that important golf game and the message wont be relayed by the server until tonight…
This is obviously really useful for those important announcements for tomorrow, or alternatively for really big messages that don’t need to go now, where you are thoughtful enough not to chew up everyone else’s bandwith

Thanks Matthew.
I had forgotten about the low priority setting, since I set everything to route immediatly years ago! I guess that is one option, I was still hoping for something along the lines of “do you want to send now or schedule delivery?” option. Guess it hasn’t been a high demand item

We talking client/server or server/server? For one user or all? There are various built in scheduling stuff in R6/6 as standard. Just dependson what you are trying to do.

Sorry Paul, should have been more specific.
My initial musings were just related to one user, something along the lines of “I have this e-mail to send out, I want it to go out at the end of the day, but I’m leaving at noon”. Issuing various financial annoucements comes to mind - of course so does ditching work, but that’s not really the reason.
thanks

Hi Patrick,
This would be a nice addition to the ‘delivery options’ section of a memo.
Unfortunately there’s no way to do this (correct me if I’m wrong…) in the current mail template.
One sort of workaround would be to make a reminder in your calendar and then set the reminder’s alarm to send the message, but then you’d need to leave your client running…
