Is it possible to embed Youtube videos in email messages in Outlook or Thunderbird so that the receiver can play the video inside of Outlook or Thunderbird?
(I dont want picture with hyperlink to youtube).
Thanks for hint or tip.
You can use the embed code of Youtube. Then in Thunderbird, create an html-formatted message and go to Insert ->HTML, put your embed code there.
Most mail clients won't display anything, but some may do it. Thunderbird itself will not show it.
You can use third-party services like viwomail to generate a HTML template of your mail. They will do things like generating GIF/images(to be used in cases when email clients don't allow videos to play).
Next, you can use services like Sendinblue to send HTML email.
Some of the email clients do not allow videos strictly. However, Apple mail client, outlook 16(only on MAC), Samsung native email app and some other clients do work for me.

We have a newsletter that uses media queries to display it in a responsive format for smaller screens. It displays as it should in Outlook, but when the email is forwarded on, it appears that Outlook is removing the media query code. We are using Outlook to send the email since we have exchange lists that we need to include. Does anyone know if there is a way around Outlook removing the media query code when forwarding, or another way to send an email with media queries through Outlook?
Unfortunately Outlook uses it's industry famous Microsoft Word render engine to reinterpret html email. This means that when forwarding, your email is full of MS garbage and, in this case, removing some of the original wanted code.
I've had issues with some corporate exchange servers stripping media queries - I think caused by their security software. Try sending to a different domain.
Best way to see if it is stripping your media queries is to check your email code. Scroll to the bottom of your email and right click>view source just inside your Outlook viewing window.
If sending to a different domain doesn't work, I'm afraid you may be out of luck as there is no way to force Outlook to preserve your original code.
Are you sending the newsletter via an Outlook email merge?
If you want better control, use a email newsletter service like Aweber or Constant Contact.
Granted, you need your contacts to opt-in but this shouldn't be a big problem if they want your newsletter.
Basically we have an Astak Mole cam that can email images at regular intervals and we want to put the images in a folder and post it on the site.
Is there a way to use IFTTT.com
We can control the email address that receives the message and the server that will display the image.
Got any ideas?
I'm not sure about IFTTT.com but there are many ways to programatically get emails to a web server.
I wrote a blog post with the three main methods for programmatically accessing email. These are namely:
Setup an email server and have it run a script locally when an email arrives
Poll over POP3 or IMAP to an existing email mailbox and then download the messages
Use a third party (such as CloudMailin) that takes an email and forwards it as an HTTP Post to your website.
Any of these methods should allow you to do what you're asking, the option to choose is really about how much you need to scale or what you have available already.
Is there an build in feature that provides sharing multiply types like text and image to other applications? All i found was sharing only text or only images to the build in mail application of windows 8.
Want to send an E-Mail were the subject, text and attachment is preset.
From my experience, the current build of Mail (Release Preview) simply won't do it. If you have an attachment, it ignores the subject and text. Look like we're going to have to wait for RTM or test with another email client.
UPDATE: AFAIK, this is still the case even after RTM. The Mail client simply can't handle both a message body and an attachment.
I am so confused. My simple requirement is: i have an application which contains confirmation form i.e. nib file. It contains some textFields like name, age, email etc. I simply want when somebody click on submit button application send background and automatic email to email defined in textField. that email contain all information like name, age etc. User need not to fil anything and it should work in background. There are so many application do the same thing. I am creating booking application.
So how can i impliment this behaviour.
Apple does not provide a way to do this - and for good reason. Sending emails from the phone automatically introduces a lot of security risks.
I am willing to bet that the apps that do this use an intermediary server to which they post the data. When the data is posted then the server handles the sending of the emails.
To do this:
Send an HTTPS POST request to your server application.
From your server application, send an email via SMTP (or APIs built on top of SMTP).
Google AppEngine provides a simple and cheap way to create such a web service, running on top of Google's cloud-computing infrastructure. The sending mail from AppEngine help document includes detailed examples of how to send mail from your server application (assuming you use the Python version of Google AppEngine).
Unfortunately, there is no official feature for this but you could download a third-party library. Refer here for a couple of suggestions.
I am new to website designing and wanted to know couple of things.
when some clicks on the link on my website say www.google.com, can i trace that how many people clicked on it.
When i send out emails with attachments, can i record how many people opened those attachements. btw this is not yahoo or gmail, its my personal email with an ISP.
if so, please put references so i can read them or explanation if possible
Create the links on your website so that they do a GET to your website first, and then redirect to the desired website.

The email attachment is a different problem. If you send an email that reads the attachment from your website, you can record the traffic.
For tracking outbound clicks, services like Google Analytics can wrap every link on your site with JavaScript and provide statistics and sexy graphs.
For tracking email attachments, it depends on the attachment. Static files like images can't make callbacks to the Internet, but something like a PDF with embedded JavaScript might be able to.
As for links within the emails, you can make each link in each email unique by associating a token with each email recipient, e.g. Some Link. Store the token in a database along with the recipient's email address and later you can cross-reference hits on your site with emails you sent out.
I know there are a handful services that do the latter, but I can't name any offhand. Search for "email newsletter service."
