FAQ = Frequently Asked Questions


Hey, where are all the colors?

email-reminder.com is coded for web 0.9 and for this reason only gray colors are usable.

... you don't believe me? :-) OK: Since I have problems with choosing suitable colors, it was realized in grayscale for the sake of simplicity. If you have a nice color design, I would be happy to try to include that as an option.


Why does activation have to take place after registration?

This is to prevent someone from registering an email address that they do not have access to. Without this "Spam" could be created easily. The activation is intended to ensure that you are also the recipient of the reminder emails.


Can I choose my own Password?

Yes. When you register, a password is automatically generated and sent to you. A change is possible in the menu Settings -> 'Change Password'.


Can I also send reminder emails to multiple/other email addresses?

No. You can only register one email address per account. This is used for both the activation, as well as to receive later reminder messages.


When exactly will the reminder emails be sent??

Daily Reminders	Each time shortly after the hour. For example, if you have a daily reminder assignment that contains the value "Hour = 17", the message will be posted every day shortly after 5:00 pm.
(Two-)Weeky Reminders	On the selected weekday (Mon - Sun) shortly after your selected hour. (possibly on even or odd calendar weeks).
Monthly Reminders	On the selected date shortly after your selected hour. If a month has fewer days than entered (e.g. "each on the 31st"), will be sent on the last of the month.
Quarterly Reminders	On 1/1, 4/1, 7/1 and 10/1 shortly after your selected hour. The dates are fixed.
Yearly Reminders	Just after after your selected hour on the selected date of each year. If a month has fewer days than entered (e.g. "each on February 29th") it will be sent on the last of the month.
Onetime Reminders	On the selected date (day/month/year) shortly after the selected hour. If you have selected a date in the past for the reminder order, it will be sent 'as soon as possible'. .

However, it is not possible to say with certainty when the respective messages will arrive.


What happens if the server fails?

Reminder orders will be "catched up" as soon as the scripts are running again. In general, you should not use the email-reminder.com service for "critical reminders" (what an expression) such as using a reminder to take medication (see also terms of use).


How many "reminders" can I create?

A maximum of 50 reminders can be created.


With which subject line are the reminder emails sent??

The default setting for this is a neutral 'Message from email-reminder.com!'. However, you can also write your own subject line. The name you give your reminder (which will then appear in the email-reminder.com order list), is generally not transferred to the email - not even to the subject line (the idea is that for example, a reminder task called 'Change socks today' does not automatically include this as email subject).


What belongs in a reminder email and what doesn't?

Whenever you pass on information to third parties you do not know, it should not include any 'sensitive' data. This also applies to the reminder text that you have sent to you (it will eventually stored on a server run by someone you don't know).

Bad example of a reminder text:
"Cancel my bank account online today - number: 1234567, password: abcde". Please don't do that!

Good example of a reminder text:
"Cancel my bank account online today - number/password: You already know where it says."


I discovered an error in the site/scripts...

While designing the pages, an attempt was made to place particular emphasis on data security (however, experience shows that probably no website is '100 percent secure'. email-reminder.com will also have weak points and/or 'bugs'). If you discover a malfunction, please notify me (email address in the legal notice). A screenshot may also be helpful. Thanks.


How do I cancel my membership??

If you are logged in with your user data, you can delete the account and everything created with it with a click on "Delete account" in the settings menu. That's it.


Why does anyone offer a free email reminder service?

You once forgot your wedding day? After the storm is over, you come to the strangest ideas ;-)


What expansions are planned for email-reminder.com in the future??

- A 'forgot password' button
- Using a 'DatePicker Widget' for time/date selection
- Shifting to a 'contemporary' framework
- Reminder period 'every X weeks' and 'every X days'
- email-reminder.com APP
- Send reminders via SMS
