Mick, thanks. Appreciate all the effort. Will do my best to capture and provide the debug data to you. Regards

Hello,
I tried this out recently and like it very much. It works great for my ISP's email (uses SquirrelMail), but I haven't been able to figure out the right combo of settings for my free Netscape webmail. If someone has Netscape working, could you please post settings? I think the server name is supposed to be "imap.mail.netcenter.com" but I'm not certain, and I don't know if it's SSL and what port to use?
Thanks very much!

I just signed up to the Netscape mail to try and find out!. It seems it is a web mail only offering. There would seem to be no obvous way to get this to work with my email plugin.

Sorry

Mick

Hi Mick,
Thanks for looking into the Netscape mail thing, I was thinking it might be possible because I've used an app called "ePrompter" to do this in the past and hoped it could be done in BM. Here's a link if you're not familiar with it....

Thanks again!

I just had a look at ePrompter and as you say it does support the Netscape webmail. I had a look at the requests it was sending and basically its acting like a browsers and then parsing all the responses. This is probably more work that I want at the moment.

Sorry

Mick

What is the expected behavior for links using this tool ? I am using this to review the Snapstream forum notifications and the link to the post is not active. I have gotten other email with active links, so I am not sure what is supposed to happen.

[mickwall]

The emails seem to come through as text, that is not html. The plugin does some formatting to replace \r\n's (line feeds) with <br> so it displays OK but thats about it. I would need to scan the body for http and add the relevant html in to it.

Other emails you are getting must be HTML formatted in which case they are pretty much displayed as is.

Cheers

Mick

This plugin is great.

I installed the latest one and now I can't seem to scroll(page down) my emails. I was able to before.

Any sugestions?

[mickwall]

Thanks - its good to know its being used!

The scrolling has not changed in this version so I am surprised. I guess you know the mouse is not enabled only the keyboard up / down arrows you say page down, I don't think that key works if thats what you mean!

Just tried this on many emails and I can't reproduce the problem!

Have you tried different emails?

If this is still not working open up an email that you don't mind me seeing then go to
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SnapStream\Beyond Media\Plugins\Email

and send me the file called tempemail.html

I'll PM you by email

Cheers

Hi everyone. Just a word of gratitude to Mick. He's worked around the clock on Hotmail compatibility and resolved minor glitches on the fly. He is awesome!!! Thanks a lot!!!

Come to think of it, my two favorite plugins, Tunerview & Email both come from two amazing developers both called Mick. I think this is a preliminary to success in this game!!! :-)

[mickwall]

Thanks

[balsack]

Thanks Mick.

It was my mistake. I can scroll down. There is no slider bar and i was using a mouse . I gues this plugin doesn't display embedded images so it looked like I was not able to scroll to see it.

Thanks again.

Is there a way to get a date from the email to display in either the listbox or on the email details ?
