Thread: Outlook Express Email Plugin- Re-Release!

Great work, can't wait to test it out! You know I am always willing to beta test

a beta shall soon be available. Right now i'm going thru and checking the dependicies for MAPI. Some stuff to make this plugin usable with outlook express seems to only be installed by outlook so i'm gathering the .dlls needed and will include them in the plugin.

ok looks like the only dependency not bundled with xp is msmapi32.ocx which i'll include in the plugin's folder. It will need to be registered. Now other OS's and "lite" xp installs may need more than just the .ocx. Last lil bit i need before releasing a beta is a name lol. Right now i just named it "Email Plugin" but chances are there can and will be other plugins in the future related to email. So how about it guys!

rrmail

MaileRR

RRMail i'll go with... even tho i personally like MaileRR better it could lead to confusion. Time to create the skin_commands and readmes!

i completely forgot that i'm gonna need a sample skin for this thing. One of you photoshop pro's wanna whip one up for me? i can provide the skin commands.txt and do the .skin file if you just handle the .jpg's. There are so far to screens. email.skin (screenshot above) and compose_email.skin (attached here). I dont think a flash skin like mine would be a good "sample" skin lol.

Brushed Metal would be the best one to do it in.

or maybe the forum project Carwings.
