i have been working on this program for a while i had a bit of trouble converting to to a plugin so ill upload the exe. basically its a bit annoying right now but what it does it it starts at mail 1 reads it and brings up a popup and you either choose to read it or  not to read it, if you hit dont read it exits the program and if you choose read it shows the mesage. when you hit hide email it goes for email number 2, it keeps going until it receives an error which then it takes the email number back one so say if you had 3 emails in your box and it looked for number 4 it would get an error then look for number 3. just hit dont read and it shouldnt bother you. also RUN the config.exe file first to sort out your details. post and bugs or errors you get and how you got them please.

Thank you.


Update : new version
Added :
              New Data Splitter (alot easier to read emails)
              New layout (sorta)
              doesent write your details to a txt file anymore it writes it to the exe or the registry (cant remember)
To Do  :
               Attachments
               Tray Icon

You can write a separate plugin that launches the EXE.

basically run the config file first. then you type in the pop3 server, i dont think gmail or hotmail have one, but if you go onto google and type "free pop3 email" youll be able to find a siyte. then you get all the details it should have a link somewhere to find the details for the pop3 server. then you type in your username eg "Ash_@freepop3.com" and type your password. you dont need to worry about the mail sending server if you dont want to reply.

i suggest www.bluebottle.com for free pop3.

Launch the EXE using a separate thread.
Search MSDN for CreateThread() and _beginthread() to see what I'm talking about.

i tried to create a thread from within the plus dll but couldnt do it and searched the forums and a few people said the had no luck, later on tonight i try it from within the exe. thanks raceprouk.

_beginthread(<fnname>, 0, NULL);
Try that, replacing <fnname> with the name of the function that launches the EXE.
For example:
_beginthread(LaunchEXE, 0, NULL);
will call
void LaunchEXE(void *arg)

Hopefully this shows how _beginthread() works.

sorry RP frgot to mention i code in vb the code above is like C++ eh?
ive looked up some shit about threads and ill use them for next version, it says that threads are very unstable in visual basic but ahwell.

If you're using VB, why not try ShellExec()?
