I need to send a standard email to the same 2 addresses every 30 minutes. Is it possible to automate this?

Additionally, the title should read "Test (time)" - where (time) is the time the mail was sent. Again, is it possible to auto insert the current time.

Thanks in advance!
 
The way that i would do this would be to write a simple VB program that emails your address with time etc. Should be no more than 4 lines of code add a timer to run it every 30 mins then send the program to the system tray. Jst install this on a server / pc with outlook always running and it will be job done.

If you have access to vb but dont know how to code it i can probably help with that.

Hope it helps

Nup, don't have VB full. Could it be done in Outlook's VB?

And yes, I'd really appreciate if you could advise me on the code.

Hope I'm not being too lazy!
 
I dont think so as that is just a form designer no really got the VB components needed ...ill have another think on it.
 
did you ever find a way to email on a timer of some kind. i just started trying to find a way to accomplish the same thing..
