EMail Attachments

I would say "Great minds think alike", but that is elevating me into a category that I don't belong in - ;-)

Going to play around with this tonight.

Thanks!

Jon:

I installed your Remote Control plugin and installed the client app on the PC's around the house. (pretty slick app, btw)

How would I incorporate the screensaver off/on toggle within the code you provided? Do I set up a macro to toggle all the PC's on the network, or do I need to turn each PC's screensaver on and off every time a picture is downloaded?

I don't know how many different PC's you want to run with screensavers. I also assume to load new pictures on to the screensaver gallery, you have to toggle it off then on again.

After the email copy routine, just add the following code:

hs.Runex("Jon00RCCNM.vben","main","1||ssaveroff")
hs.waitsecs(1)
hs.Runex("Jon00RCCNM.vben","main","1||ssaveron")

This assumes client 1

If you have 2 PC's then it would be:

hs.Runex("Jon00RCCNM.vben","main","1||ssaveroff")
hs.Runex("Jon00RCCNM.vben","main","2||ssaveroff")
hs.waitsecs(1)
hs.Runex("Jon00RCCNM.vben","main","1||ssaveron")
hs.Runex("Jon00RCCNM.vben","main","2||ssaveron")

This assumes client 1 and 2

Thanks Jon.

And to be clear, the number "1" in the function

hs.Runex("Jon00RCCNM.vben","main","1||ssaveroff")

is referring to the number in the first column called "Device" under the "General" heading, correct?

Thanks again.

Yes, that is correct.

...and I am placing it after the "end if" and before "end sub". I only want this to happen after all the files (if there are multiple e-mails with attachments)

It's been a while since I programmed in Pascal...

[jon00]

Yes and no!

The trigger script will always run on every email received so it will trigger the screensaver off/on with each email.

You could make this bit a separate script and add it to the email recurring event or make the email checking duration short to reduce the possibility of more than one email being received.

...and finally (I think)...

How could I delete the emails after they are processed? The mailbox size for this email address is minimal, and I don't want it to get clogged up.

Please see this post. Put the code at the bottom of the trigger script (just above the end sub)
