Hi all I am not an expert in SharePoint. so i would like to do the following in SP.
When I make a meeting in Outlook, the recipient gets a approve/reject button in the top of the email. I'd like to do a similar thing with SharePoint , when a calendar event is created, an email is sent to the manager so the manager should able to accept or reject the Event. .
How do i do this in sharepoint ?
You could attach out of the box approval workflow on Calendar list:
Use an Approval workflow

How do I schedule a task to generate a weekly report in ServiceNow and send as an email.
I want the same report to be sent to my SharePoint site automatically every week. How to integrate it ? Please help.
You should be able to setup Incoming email on a Document Library in SharePoint and email a scheduled report to it from ServiceNow.
This also depends on ServiceNow being able to send email to this address.
You may need ServiceNow to have a VPN to your network with SharePoint, and you need Incoming email to be configured on your SharePoint install.
If those are working, you can do something like the following.
SharePoint
Create a Document Library
Go to Library Settings
Open Incoming E-Mail Settings
Change Allow this document library to receive e-mail? to Yes
Give this an E-mail address: reports#mysharepoint.com
SharePoint Security
Consider how ServiceNow is sending email to you. If email is sent via their mail servers, you may need to set incoming email option
E-mail security policy to Accept e-mail messages from any sender
In this case, be mindful of what email can be delivered to your network. This may allow unwanted emails coming in.
If ServiceNow uses your mail servers, you may be able to grant access to the Document Library for the user that is delivering your email. If so you may be able to set this
E-mail security policy to Accept e-mail messages based on document library permissions
This is much more secure, but these things always depend on your environment and your needs.
ServiceNow
Go to Reports > View / Run
Open the report to be delivered
Click the dropdown on the Save button
Choose Schedule
Fill out the Schedule form
Click the Users lock
In Enter email address put in the email to send to the Document Library (ex: reports#mysharepoint.com)
Run: Weekly
Choose the Day of the week and the Time
Subject: My report
Right click the header and choose Save
Test this by clicking Execute Now within the Scheduled Report
I am new to SharePoint and have difficulty understanding the approval process. We have a list with all the leave requests and on this list is a workflow that sends a email to the manager as soon as a item has been created.
What we would like to do is add a second manager and send a email to him after one day if the first manager has not approved the item.
Is this even possible and how would I do this in SharePoint?
Thanks in advance
In you workflow you can set a timer. Add a one-day timer, then do a IF on the approval status. If it's not approved then send an email to the second manager.
I am trying to create set of AppointmentItems from database in Outlook via an add-in I have developed.
I would like to be able to create AppointmentItems on another exchange account's calendar(I have the credentials of it). The organizer attribute of AppointmentItem is read-only, it did not help.
I was just wondering whether there is any way to achieve this. I am using Outlook 2010 and Visual Studi 2010
Many thanks for your help.

My understanding is that if you want to change the meeting organizer, you would need to cancel the meeting and have the new organizer send out the meeting invite. There is no way to transfer or change the organizer.
From Outlook meeting requests: Essential do’s and don’ts:
If a recurring meeting is changing to a new organizer, there is not a
way to reassign the ownership of the meeting. The original organizer
should send an update with a new end date — the past meetings remain
on everyone’s calendars, but future occurrences after the end date are
removed. The new meeting organizer should send a new meeting request
for meetings in the future.
after some research, I have used Exchange Server Web Services api to impersonate another user and create appointments on behalf of that user.

Is there a way to send an email from SharePoint by using the email addresses from a sharepoint list.
Something like sending one email to all client from a specific list and putting the addresses in the BCC field of the email.
All that in a single button that I could place in the sharepoint list header.
You could develop something like that using a custom action, but you should be familiar with SharePoint development
In my sharepoint site I have a document library with a workflow attached to it.Once any user upload a new document workflow is started and the document is send to approver for approval along with this an email has been sent to the approver for new document pending for approval. Now then email is sent from the mail server I have configured in sharepoint. it works fine. Now my question is I want to send the email to the approver from users email ID so that the approver should know from whome the request is come from.
Can any one help me how can I configure mail server so that the outgoing emailing should be done from users email ID.

You will need to set up a custom workflow with a custom activity to send the email rather than using the out of box approval workflow. This is one of those cases where a small change from the normal SharePoint way of doing things means a lot of extra work - the sort of problem I usually solve by telling the client it can't be done or is very expensive.
As an alternative, just including the requesting user name in the body of the email would be a lot easier and may be close enough to meeting the actual requirement.
You have write an event handler for the document library. You will have to send the approval mail using this event handler instead of thw workflow.
This post has some info abut event handlers in MOSS 2007
