I have a scenario if the user clicks submit button mail should be sent automatically through outlook without POP-UP(asking for us to click send button).
How to do this & is der anyway to access outlook api for auto sending a mail.
There is, but not using Javascript. Outlook has a COM interface (and probably .NET as well) which allows sending e-mails, but it will show warnings as well. The only way is to actuall build an Outlook add-in that can send e-mails 'from the inside'.
To help you build this, you can use Outlook Redemption, which provides Outlook-like functions that can be called without the warnings. But as far as I know, there's no way to control Outlook from outside to send mail and especially not from Javascript.
This measure is taken to prevent malicious scripts sending spam using your Outlook.

I want to send a email automatically with JS.
I use the next code to open a window with outlook with a mail with the information that I want.
Now I want to send the mail with JS. I need to "click" the send button automatically of the Outlook interface. Any ideas? Maybe with an Ajax /JQuery?
If anyone knows other process to send emails automatically with JS its usefull for me too.
function main(){
location.href = "mailto:"+'someone#something.com'
+'?cc='+" "
+'&subject='+'something'
+'&body='+"Hi, im an automatic mail";
}
To details
Please note, JS is client side and runs inside browser, you do not have access to any application or file system outside browser or to browser itself..
Further,
If you need to send automated emails, you will need server side email engine configured and will need to make ajax / jQuery call to engine with recipient details..
I know you can have someone open their local email application (like 'mail.app' on mac or outlook on windows) and compose a new message with the following
window.location.href = "mailto:mail#domain.com";
I was wondering if it is possible to open the local email application without also composing a new message?
The use-case is, after registration, people need to check their email to confirm their account. I do not need them to send a message.
UX notes outside the scope of this question
I do not force a redirect, but rather I have a 'check my email' and 'skip' button after logging in. I have coded, that 'if the email contains gmail.com' to redirect to mail.google.com, but there is no way to exhaustively hard-code all possible email addresses and to which url they should be redirected? therefore if the email address is not any of the major ones, I would like to opt to open the user's local email client (without composing an email message) - if this is possible.
This isn't possible from a technical perspective. There's no mechanism provided for it via JavaScript. The browser simply doesn't have that kind of permission to open a desktop app, and nor should it.
It may open a mail client specifically using the "mailto:" protocol for the single purpose of pasting the email address from the mailto link into the user's default mail client. Similarly, other protocols may (optionally) be matched to certain applications (e.g. tel: to start a phone call) on the device, but again only a very specific action can be carried out. It's not possible to simply open any arbitrary desktop application with no specific purpose in mind, no mechanism exists for it.
I am creating an Oracle JET application in which I want to send an email to the user containing the user password when they click Forgot Password. I tried this using mailto: but it opens the mail client. I want the application to send mail without opening the mail client. Can someone please explain how this could be done. Can this be done only by using RESTful web services? Thank you.
Sending a mail requires a server-side action, i.e. connecting to an SMTP server. So if your RESTful web service is written in a language that supports SMTP, then yes you can do it. For example: http://www.journaldev.com/2532/javamail-example-send-mail-in-java-smtp
It has nothing to do it with Oracle-JET, which is just a UI framework.
P.S.
If you absolutely want to use client-side JavaScript just for the fun of it this answer shows how. But as the comments on it say, it's a complete breach of security.
I'm developing an application for Outlook OWA (Office 365). The application is actually very useful for our organization, but have a problem. The application send information using the .post() method of jQuery when a submit button is pressed. How can I attach this task to the "Send" button of Outlook when is being pressed?
Normally, you would need to handle the Application.ItemSend event. I don't however see how you can use that from your Java code.
How exactly do you display or send the message through Outlook? Does that happen on the client side? Do you just use a mailto link?
I have a scenario where I need to send an email using c#, which could be easily done using SMTP, but the challenge is to incorporate web service in the html mail, hence i have used java scripts inside mail body to access the web service when a button click is raised.
As a html(Web Page), it works perfectly good but then when i send a mail and try with the click of a button in my mail, the onclick not raised the jscript and hence no action has happened and it was actually disabled.
I checked with the firebug(in firefox) in the particular html tag, to my surprise the jscript tag was not present there hence the event was not raised. My question is can we access web service in html email? and don't JScripts works on Gmails?
Does the html email do only the redirecting, using href... To my experience i have never got any mail which uses java scripts(like click of a button zooms the image in the same page, which is very much possible in html,asp pages). Thx in advance...
Apart from struggling to understand the question, Javascript won't work in most mail clients. Deliberately disabled.
You can't automatically call a web service from an e-mail letter. You have to create an URL for the recipient to open, and let them access the web service from a web page in the browser.
JavaScript, and any other third party communication method for that matter, is disabled in any reasonable e-mail client by security reasons.
I'm not aware of any email client or web mail service that will execute JavaScript embedded in an HTML email.
Limit HTML use in emails to formatting. If you need an web application, then link to it instead.
