Outlook Express Email Plugin- Re-Release!

**Sonicxtacy02** · 04-11-2008, 10:52 AM

As if i need MORE on my plate right? lol

i'm considering making a MAPI compatible email extension plugin. The plugin will be simple in its purpose initially with the abilities to read and write email, display the number of new messages. It will work right from outlook express. So any email address you have set up within outlook express will be available for use. It will also pull contact data from OE. Maybe at some point it will add features like attachments, contact management in the like but in the meantime i'd simply like to be able to read and write email inside rr. Anyone interested?

PROGRESS:

Check Email and Receive New Messages= 100%
Send Messages= 100%
Reply to Messages= 100%
Forwarding Messages = 100%
Deleting Messages From Outlook = 100%
Saving Messages to Drive = 100%
New Message Indicator = 100%
Message Count Label = 100%
OSK Entrys = 100%
Contact Retrieval = 100%
Add Contact = 100%

I saw a request for some sort of email client, and code some basic code together.

but didn't have time to ge ay further.

saves embedding the OE into a skin , much more intergrated, and makes it look more complete. good idea and work sonicx

Nice. Real nice...

**Sonicxtacy02** · 04-11-2008, 04:16 PM

well i've got the read feature goin quite well. Only thing i cant figure out is how to find out how many new messages there are versus total messages without refetching the mail from the server. Anyone familiar with the MAPI components wanna chime in on that? Other than that i can now pull email from the server, format it, scroll it, forward it and reply to it. Not bad considering i just thought about doin it this morning lol. Another screenie.. this time in a flash skin.

Just don't hard code any paths...

It does look good so far...

**Sonicxtacy02** · 04-14-2008, 02:42 PM

lol i dont think i've made a path yet. I do have some hardcoded skin names (email.skin, compose_email.skin, & confirm_email.skin) so far. Is that ok with you blue
