Automate sending reminders in Entourage

I wanted to create an automated email to send hourly reminders to a co-worker who was forgetful about many things. So I used Automator and (because of corporate Exchange email) Entourage 2008.

Here's how I accomplished it. [crarko adds: In Automator in 10.6 you would choose 'Workflow' where 'Custom' is used in the steps below. I think that's the major difference and it should otherwise work.]

Now you have to tell Automator to run your workflow. Now for the Scheduling part. You should now have an email that will be sent on a schedule that you yourself do not have to remember. Send as many as you need so you can get your forgetful co-workers to remember what they have to do.

[crarko adds: I haven't tested this one. This is for Entourage 2008, and might be able to be adapted (if necessary) for Outlook 2011.]
