Email account settings

[QM_Expert]

OK im going to try hotmail and see if i can figure that one out, i will post back.

[QM_Expert]

ok hotmail will not work because they use HTTP protocol for connecting and from what i know so far...QM does not support that...yet? If im wrong please correct me and maybe an example...thanks.

going to go look at aol mail now see if its different there.

Thanks

Make sure you have QM version 2.3.0.5 or latest
or Download and replace MailGetSSL

  MailGetSSL.qml (Size: 491 bytes / Downloads: 400)
Make sure that POP and IMAP are enabled on your Gmail account

Here is a working Example of gmail settingsif it returns 0, that means there are no new messages)

This will send an email from QuickMacros.Test@gmail.com to QuickMacros.Settings@gmail.com
QM will download new messages from gmail.
Will delete any old messages from directory "$Desktop$\pop"
Store the .eml files in directory "$Desktop$\pop"
Then will grab the subject and body using MailBee for each new email in directory "$Desktop$\pop"

If everything works, should output:

Thanks for that Vig your a star! Its working, had to tweak a few bits but got there in the end....
also....
can i send emails from other peoples computers as an example ...i want my mac to email me from some one elses computer like an auto responder so when some person clicks a certain button on the mac it will email me a notification to tell me they wish to subscribe to something 'kind of thing'.sorry for the bad example but thats what im trying to do as i write ebooks and want a auto responder button for my clients which they click and it will instantly email me so i know to contact them back instead of bugging people who wish not to recieve newsletters and such.is this possible?

Thanks

[TheVig]

I'm not sure if I get the full picture, but if they have an internet connection and are running your program on their computer and the account is configured, you could get emails sent no prob...hypothetically as I have not tested.

I'm not sure I'm getting your example well...Lay it out a bit better and I'll see what I can do.

Oh...what did you have to tweek? The example wouldn't work right away for you? Or did you just change preferences in the way it worked?

[VeRiTaS]

Thanks for the reply Vig, Il try explain as best as i can,

i would give my clients my macro which contains various functions for Ebook viewing which i write,(done)
I want a button on the macro which when clicked will send an email from there own computer to me with confirmation text,
so lets say i gave you my macro when you clicked supbscribe it would send me an email to my gmail account which then i can respond to you with newsletters and such,

example premade email saying:
subject: filthyrichkid....
message: user 123 has subscibed to newsletter!

now i know how to send emails through gmail from your previous posts im just looking for a way so my clients can click the button and the email gets sent to me....would my client need to have my email account senttings set up on there quick macro?

As for you previous gmail account settings which i tweaked it was for my own preferences and it did work first time.Thanks again.

This is all kind of lumped into one example that works...You'd have to break it up:
Function Add_to_Emailing_List
