[rel] Mailcheck For Mm Docklet

MailCheck Theme for MM Docklet

First try

Heya all,

I have been playing with herds MM Docklet and this is what I came up with:

a MailChecker script for the MultiMeter docklet.

Screenie

Requirements

Object Dock, Y'zDock or AveDesk with herds MultiMeter Docklet Beta 2.

Installation

1) unzip the file into your MM-Themese folder.

2) run install_mailcheck.cmd

3) open MailCheck.vbs with an editor of choice and edit the following

server = "yourserver"
username = "yourusername"
password = "yourpassword"

replace yourserver with the address of your POP3-server, e.g. pop.hccnet.nl

replace yourusername with your username for that server

replace yourpassword with your password for that server.

4) Add the docklet to your Dock/Desk and select the MailCheck theme. Apply and you are ready to go.

Notes

The theme checks your mail every 2 minutes. You can click it to instantly check your e-mail.

Wow - keep 'em coming.

Sure

Found some bugs btw:

when using a splitimage the docklet is not updated after the initialize-sub.

Also, when changing images in the Docklet_MouseAction()-function, images will not update 'till the first Docklet_Tick. I might also be doing something wrong

I know.

Interestingly, I call Docklet_Tick() after Docklet_Initialize(), but the change does not render. (e.g. BatteryMeter Theme needs tick time too, to show up)

SwitchSplitter() already increases render count giving the same problem.

Reason is that the host only updates in tick intervals and the script only increases a "render needed count" for optimized rendering. Beta 3 will have the multimeter force all three hosts for a redraw as soon as the render count changes.

Where's the goat-smiley when you need it?

any ways to make it check multiple mail-accounts?

I'll think that would make MM terminate the script, because it would probably take more than five seconds.

Thank you Herd and Ave for this powerfull script

Is this still under development? just wondering if we could hope for SSL support and a way to configure the host port in a future version...
