Scheduled Mails deprecated

Motivation

Starting with v8.20, the Open-Xchange Server supports the transport of mails at a later time. The user is able to specify the desired time when a certain mail is supposed to be sent.

Prerequisites

In order to support sending a composed mail at a desired date, the package open-xchange-mail-scheduled needs to be installed.

Moreover, for safe connect against mail/transport system, master authentication is required being setup:

 com.openexchange.mail.passwordSource=global
 com.openexchange.mail.masterPassword=secret

In addition, the feature also needs to be enabled for App Suite UI through the following UI setting:

io.ox/core//features/scheduleSend = true
