[solved] Sending time delayed email via internet?

Post#1 by Rava » 10 Jan 2022, 08:54

I need to use a free web email service to send a time delayed email on a certain date/time.
In the past I already did so, but seems I forgot to properly save the needed info including the used URL.. :wall:

DDG searches like

Code: Select all

send time delayed email -outlook
give nothing helpful.
The exclusion search parameter

Code: Select all

-outlook
is needed because you usually get lots of how to do that stuff in outlook and thank you very much I am much free of SM-Windoze-OS including outlook and will keep it that way.

Did anyone of you fine ladies and / or gents do a time delayed email sent via a free internet service in the past and unlike me recalls the service name or better the URL?
Cheers!
Yours Rava

Seems I was not precise enough, I do not need a client but a web service where I write the email today and tell it e.g. "send this email on 2022-01-28 12:00"

When I do have a client add on for Interlink, what good would that do?

I could just make an entry into my smartphone calendar instead on "2022-01-28" at "12:00" with the title "Write this email [contents: X] to Y@Z.com" and set an alarm to be notified.

But I want to write and finish the email now, for the service by itself to send it when schedules, since what good would an add on for Interlink do me when on the scheduled "2022-01-28 12:00" I am not running my Porteus system the whole day? And therefore Interlink is not running on that day as well. And as a result, the email never got send at the scheduled date and time.
Cheers!

Just received my first email from futureme.org

Unlike what I was expecting… the only info the email itself provided was the date it was sent from.
As for the contents of the email I wrote to myself, see for yourself:
The following is a letter from September 30, 2022, delivered from the past by FutureMe.org

Not what I had hoped for, sure, I could click the link, but I expected the email containing what I wrote, and not only a link without anything I wrote in it at all.
