BobWeaver Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 I just installed Eudora 5.01 on my Mac last week. I selected the "send immediately" option in the setup, but when I use the Send Mail from Filemaker, it queues the mail until I go into Eudora and manually send it. Is there something that I'm missing here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWeaver Posted February 1, 2001 Author Share Posted February 1, 2001 Never mind. I just figured it out. Eudora just queues any mail that gets sent from Filemaker no matter what the send options are. That makes sense, because if Filemaker sent 1000 emails, it would be very inefficient to send each one as Eudora gets it. In order to send all queued mail, I added a short applescript to my Filemaker script right after the send mail step: tell app "Eudora" connect given sending:true quit end tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob476 Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I've got the same problem, trying to send mail through Eudora. i.e. Mail is opened but I have to manually hit either Queue or Send for each one. I tried adding your applescript step but it does not send the message Amy clue what *I* am missing on this? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 From memory, Eudora has a "send on check" option whereby it sends queued messages every time it checks for mail. Set it to check for new mail every 10 minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob476 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Yes, but the problem is doing a mass-queue in the first place. When FM creates the emails, they all open individually and you have to manually queue them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve T. Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Hi, Bob! I hope someone posts a solution for you, but if not, you may want to look at some FileMaker plug-ins. I haven't used any myself, but I think there are several that are available that work w/mail. We use the Eudora manual queue/send to double-check our data entry before sending a confirmation notice and use -Mail tags for our auto-sends on the web. --ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob476 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I did find a solution by adding this AppleScript step to my FM script: tell app "eudora" queue front message end tell That queues each message as it's created. Then I can just go to Eudora and send the queueds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
