Guide Review - Email Scheduler 2.7 - Outlook Add-In
Email Scheduler adds a handy "Schedule Message" button to the message toolbar, using which you can set an email to be sent either at a specific later date or using a schedule. Email Scheduler knows many forms of recurrence so you can have fairly sophisticated automatic email plans. When a message is due, Email Scheduler can attach a file — or an entire directory, or a group of files even (making use of wild-card characters to select all .xls files in a folder, for example).
Unfortunately, Email Scheduler cannot attach a file only if it has been modified. It might also be useful if Email Scheduler could take into account more variables and events than just the time for scheduling. If these same variables could be used to customize the scheduled emails, that would be even better.
