I want to find a script that allows me to send items in the Drafts folder on
my Schedule. I can use the Schedule feature and make a schedule to run at
certain times and dates and send mail, but it will not allow you to pick the
Drafts folder items to be sent. So, I could attach a script to that Schedule
that would send items from the Drafts folder when the Schedule runs.

OR

Maybe a script or way to have the items moved from the Drafts to the Outbox
folders at my time (date, time of day, etc.). That way, my normally running
Send & Receive Schedule would send these email out that get moved from the
Drafts folder to the Outbox at it¹s next timed interval (5 minutes in my
case).


Any help or ideas?

I think your best bet would be to use the Delayed Send AppleScript. Find it

Yeah - I tried it, but it is a very convoluted script and setup. The number
of steps and files you need to run it is a bit confusing and not straight
forward. It is not simple to use is my point, versus just a script that,
when run, sends Drafts or moves them to the Outbox. That script you talk
about has way more going on and is a pain to use I found. Thanks though.

There are a couple of scripts that will do this. Bryan Harris' Postpone,
Delayed Send 1.95 is simplest for a simple scheduled send. Or you can check
out my Delayed Send X script if you ha ve a lot of these and also for
scheduled Repeat sends. They're both at

Try Bryan Harris' Postpone, Delayed Send 1.95 , which is much simpler.
