How can I edit the time an email is sent?
Unless you have admin (write/edit/save) access to both your outgoing email server and your recipients incoming email server to edit timestamps, you are up the proverbial creek. On that note, however, there are MANY utilities that will delay sending, and/or allow you to chose a time in the future to send your email, but that is, realistically, your only option.(If you could gain access to the receivers computer prior to their opening the email, there are a few 'creative' ways you could make it appear to have arrived at a different time, but it would not hold muster under any serious scrutiny.....)Sorry. I hope it wasn't anything that will cause serious repercussions!
What is the best time to send emails to professors?
I think you should just be efficient and send the message when it occurs to you. Otherwise, it just takes you more time. If the professor answers it, it will occur on his/her timescale anyway. However, you could take advantage of when people are likely to read e-mails and what times are quiet.If it happens to be a professor who follows proverbial work hours (which is rare, but such people exist), then you could use a strategy that applies to anybody else who follows normal working hours. A decent number of people have last-in, first-out (LIFO) e-mail client preferences, in which case they would see more recent e-mails first. In that case, just before they start their workday seems a reasonable thing to do.For professors who could be looking at e-mails at arbitrary times (which is many of us), then sending a message during low-traffic times (weekends, late at night, etc) could lead to the message being more likely not to fall under the radar.The above, by the way, refers only to somebody noticing the e-mail, so it's based on activity patterns. People have different considerations when it comes to whether to respond! Personally, I think you should just maximize your own efficiency.I remember one Christmas day several years ago when I asked a well-known (and very busy) professor who I know something by e-mail. I was working on a paper because I finally had time to do it. I figured he would be with his family and unavailable at the time, but the thought occurred to me, so I felt that it was better just to send the e-mail and get an answer whenever I happened to get it (hence my advice above). It turns out that he was also taking advantage of things finally being quiet, with others on holiday not pestering him so that he too could finally get some work done, so he responded in a couple of minutes. I have had similar experiences with several other colleagues. (When the support staff are away, the mathematicians come out and play!)
Why does it take a long time to receive my emails?
I have noticed lately that someone will send me an email and it can take several hours before I receive it. It happens from different senders. I can send an email to a gmail account and receive it instantly. But, I can wait hours for same email to arrive to yahoo account.
How do I respond to an email, which was sent to me by a very senior person with an apology for replying me late?
If you feel like you have to reply to this, say "thanks for replying" or something not overly humble, etc. The other choice is to... treat it like you didn't notice at all. They're feeling guilty (more likely if it was a woman; just google women feeling the need to apologize in email), just spend your time worrying about the content of your response instead of being overly polite. The only time I wouldn't do this would be if you are in a culture/work environment that -is- overly polite. However, if they were, you'd already have significant fodder for what to write in an email, and you probably wouldn't need to google the answer.
Can I send this in an e-mail? Is it written all correct to be sent? ?
Good job. Here are some suggestions for changes: (Your home addess goes here) (Phone numbers) (Email address) (Date) Dear Sir/Madam, My name is (your name here). I will be attending KTH university for my master's degree in Fall 2008, however, I am still waiting for my student visa to arrive, and this procedure may not finalise before September 1st. Therefore, with regret I won't be able to attend any of the core orientation sessions which will be held on August 27-29. However, I am hoping to be able to attend at least the introduction orientation on September 5th, as I think I won't be able to arrive any sooner than September 1st to Sweden. I would be very grateful if you could provide me with any information about the procedure which I should go through for attending the annual international orientation on September 5th. Also as I won't be able to attend any of the core orientation sessions I would appreciate it if you could provide me with as much as useful information about the university and my campus as possible through any guides such as catalogues, booklets, or any other helpful information in this regard, so that I would be able to sooner get familiarized with the campus and the university. Sincerely Yours (write your name here)
How do I undo a sent mail after one day?
Now, GMAIL does have a “Enable Undo Send” option that you can set, but it is really a “delay send” feature, and it only works to a very short maximum of 30 seconds. But I do suggest people enable it so that they can cancel something from being sent out right away if they realize they hit “send” when they didn’t mean to.Unfortunately, that won’t help you for an Email that is sent out longer then this.And Gmail which is cloud-based doesn’t have a “Recall” feature like Microsoft Outlook Exchange, so there aren’t really any other options. (And note that the “Recall” feature in Microsoft Outlook Exchange is very limited, doesn’t always work, and only works well within certain corporate environments).I do not believe that Google has any way to “pull an Email” out of someone’s inbox once it has been delivered to them.So, here is one option…Build a time machine…Travel back in time to right before you hit the “Send” button..Make those changes to the Email that you should have done the first time and resend it the way you meant to in the first placeProblem solved!Or next time, think long and hard before you hit the “Send” button..Or contact the person you sent it to and ask them very nicely to PLEASE DELETE the Email that you sent before they open it, and that it was sent in error. Although my experience is that if you do this, they will still probably read it before deleting.Or prepare to explain to the person you sent it to why it was a mistake.. remember that important word in life called “apologize” ? Seems that many people these days have forgotten how to do that and think that technology can fix everything.But we are all human, and we all mess-up.Own-up to your mistake, be honest, humble, and maybe they will actually come to respect you MORE as a result of this mistake.And you will have certainly learned an important life lesson yourself…Some things can’t be taken back once they are said or done.Such is life..Good luck and Peace!Dr. Michael Einstein
My landlord sent me an email at 11pm last night, can I deny him access today?
The law in nearly every state limits such activities to so-called business hours. This means that an email sent at 23:00 would not need to be considered as acknowledged until 08:00. Therefor your landlord would need to wait an additional 24 hours to be permitted entry. If your landlord was smart, he would also not seek entry while you are not home and available as you might make claims of him tampering with or stealing possessions. If your landlord is routinely entering your home, then something is wrong in the first place. Unless you are requesting that he conducts repairs, he should not need entry. I've gone years without so much as speaking to my landlord, let alone having them in my home.
