Hi,
I would like to create a script which allows me to check e-mail and read it (maybe even delete it from the e-mail server).

I managed to find 2 scripts which suppose to check e-mails: the first one can't even connect to the server. The second one works, but it looks very complicated, and it has a bug which doesn't let it send/receive the BODY of the e-mail.
None of those scipts is able to delete the e-mail from the server either.

Can someone help me starting?
What should I do, and where can I find a good manual about this?

Thanks. smile

Sorry to sound like a knocker but I reckon using mIRC to handle email is insecure. You are better off using Micro$oft Outlook which is made specifically for the purpose.

I want to create a script which can get e-mail, so I could run mIRC at home, and control my computer from work by mail (I will give it about 4 different tasks, that can be run using a mail command). This is why I can't use Outlook.

If you know a way that I can tell mIRC to take data from outlook, and use it with the script, that will be most helpfull. smile

why not just set up an on text pm that responds to your own pms? you could even remotely run a shutdown with /run shutdown -r -t 01

I doubt this is possible, it certainly doesn't sound possible, to me anyway. You are better off making a mIRC bot or using remote control software such as a flavour of VNC.

I use VNC and it is a good application. And small too, you can carry the client server around on a floppy disc.

Well saragani if you need code tell me, i could help you out. I'm just bored to write it now and i am having some problems too smirk
For remote commands that is, and not e-mail ones:P

Hey saragani

It’s very possible to make a perfectly well working Email system using mIRC scripting, would be more efficient to make an E-mail Notifyer which launches your Default Email Client to receive the E-mails including the Attachments. Using 3rd party mIRC scripts, & dll’s you should be very alert as these scripts can be Leaking out Privacy Information to remote machines such like your Email Informatics including the Passwords and so forth.

You never mentioned though if you wanted it for POP3 Accounts or web-base Emails or Support for both?

It is a POP3 account.
The problem is that I don't know hoe to create or get those dll files which will help me retrive the data from outlook or outlook express.

/run C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe
