currently theres a script that checks all your email accounts and lets you know when new email is received in any of them.

now thats fine and when i am at home thats really helpful i see new mail arrived in a certain account and off to MSN Explorer i go to pick it up. but lets say i see a message while at work that says i have a new email in my NTLWorld Account, i know the message is there but i dont have access to my ntlworld account from work so i now got it in the corner of my mind that i need to rush through all my work so i can get home and check my email which for all i know could be SPAM.

therefore considering the existing script knows all the login details for your account (that it uses to check for mail) surely you could extend the scripts functionality to enable you to read those emails from within the scripts interface, could someone please look into adding that functionality please?

Well if you told the script the details, then you know them. So set up a webmail reader for them.

yeh, can't you just read them off the internet?

Posting again, but with different words

It sounds a lot like you want an e-mail client in script form. Since there are already plenty of free e-mail clients around (Thunderbird, Windows Live Mail Desktop et al), and ntlWorld has a web interface, just use one of them.

yes in my case ntlworld does have a webmail interface, however my circumstances was the example, while this idea doesnt apply to me personally what i am getting at is there is likely to be plenty of people out there who use messenger in their working life getting the multi account mail notification who want to check their email but work for companys that dont allow you to install software on the companies pc's and who's isp's may not offer a webmail service. i was merely thinking of something for them. but maybe your right maybe it is too much for anyone to accomplish.

Well it's not too much, but it's rather pointless IMO.

[off-topic]Why read it in MSN Explorer? Lots of bloat for nothing. Just sign in through www.hotmail.com with your MSN account...[/off-topic]

because personally i like the convenience of having everything all in  one place, it gives me access to all 3 of my emails accounts (hotmail, ntlworld & My Windows Group Hotmail Account) plus the online favourites and its a browser and it entitles me to free antivirus and firewall software through my premium subscription.
