Hi, Firstly do you have any main in your inbox?, if so and its not downloaded please post your beyond media log (or a section of it).

Cheers

You response caused me to look into the log where I did see it checking without error messages. Sent a few emails and waited 30 minutes tonight and then began to see 'em. Refresh interval set too high and I was impatient. Thanks for the insight. Any idea when creating and/or responding might be added? Otherwise, nice piece of adaptive work. Thanks...

Answered my own question AGAIN! Was able to reply to an inbound UNREAD message. Thanks. Looking forward to any new tweaks

Is there currently a way or will there be a way in the future to simply disable the 'new messages' popup window? I've temporarily installed tunerview to move the message to the overlay screen, but tunerview has reduced my WAF as she claims it is "confusing and ugly".

Thanks!

I had no plans but will see what I can do.

Thanks, Mick. Once again, an awesome effort.

One more question (here I go again...): is there any plan for adding Yahoo! mail integration as well? I'm currently using YPOPS! for my wife's account but it isn't quite right in the way it handles new emails.

Probably not, can you not use standard POP/IMAP with yahoo?

That's cool, thanks anyway! Nah, Yahoo! doesn't allow POP3 access unless you pay them an annual fee.

Hello,
For those that would like to have this plugin access all kinds of web based mail accounts, I've had success getting to my netscape.net and free hotmail.com mail boxes using "FreePops" -> http://www.freepops.org/en/

Follow the installation instructions for FreePops, which vary based on your antivirus, I'm using Avast! You have to change your email acoount info in the plugin to use "localhost" as the mailserver and port 2000 (i.e. instead of 110) as FreePops does a translation between the ports. The one thing I needed to do manually was go into "email.xml" and edit the "POP3Port" value to be "2000" since Mick's plugin currently only lets you chose the standard ones' (i.e. 110, 143, hotmail. etc.) Maybe there could be an option for keying in you own port number, what do you think Mick? Anyway, once I did that it updated perfectly. FreePops doesn't do SMTP (i.e. send mail) but on their web site are a list of SMTP server names you can try for doing that.

First of all -- this is an amazing plugin. I cant believe one person has put this together in his 'spare' time. Its very nice.

I just installed it about two days ago and did all the setting to have it pick up my gmail. It seems to connect becaused it did pull in about 26 mail messages that I can read, but they are messages from about 3 months ago. I have about 2000 messages in my mail account and none of the most recent onces are showing in the plugin. I upped the refresh rate to every 15min, but still no more messages coming into the plugin. I get about two 'new' messages into the plugin per day, but again its an old message. None of the new messages are coming in.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanx in advance for your comments.

With gmail I found that once the messages have been downloaded via ANY pop based email its doesn't offer them for download again. So my only recommendation is that

a. you change the pop3 email setting for not keeping in sync to false.
b. logon to gmail and reset the download option

You should then find that all the mail is re downloaded and won't be deleted the next time it connects when gmail doesn't offer all the mail again.

Cheers

I have some quick questions

I have a vonage account, and basicly the voice mail is in it's on PoP account. What I was wondering is if I was to set this up could I setup the rule to delete everything but what comes from Vonage to that account, and listen to the message atachments? (It's in Wav format I think)

Thanks,

I've used this plugin before on another box and know it works great but am having a problem installing it on this Windows 2000 box with the latest BM trial on it... I tried the current version as well as an older plugin and I get the following when I try to install the plugin:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.



any idea where I've gone wrong??

thanks much
