Post subject:  RELEASE: POP3 E-Mail Checker Plugin
POP3 E-Mail Checker Plugin (v1.01)

What is it?:

This plugin allows you to display statistics concerning un-downloaded e-mails that use the POP3 protocol. This generally means any e-mail address you use in Microsoft Outlook/Outlook Express or other. This plugin will NOT support Hotmail unless you have a paid account. Please stay tuned for a HTTP E-Mail plugin. The plugin can tell you how many un-read/un-downloaded messages you have, the total bytes or kilobytes that the e-mails are using and the latest e-mail's subject.


How to Use:
  1. Copy the DLL file into your main LCD Info directory.
  2. Set up your e-mail details by right clicking on the LCD Info icon in the system tray, going to
    "Configure Plugins" > Click "E-Mail Checker" > Click "Configure" > Enter your details > Click "Save" > Click "Test" (optional) > Close the dialog boxes.
  3. Put the pluginvar "E-Mail.Update" somewhere in your XML file. This variable does not return anything unless there is an error and should be refreshed approximately every 5000ms.
  4. Set up your other variables as described below.
Variables:
  • E-Mail.Update: MUST be Called.
  • E-Mail.TotalMessages: Total E-Mail Messages on Server.
  • E-Mail.TotalBytes: Total Bytes on Server.
  • E-Mail.TotalKilobytes: Total Kilobytes on Server.
  • E-Mail.LastSubject: Last Recieved E-Mail Subject.

Thanks for the comments :). I'll finish the SETI plugin as soon as I get LCDInfo build 19 out. So far I don't think the improvements I have made are enough to warrant a release. I'll probably release them both tomorrow so long as Mario 64 DS doesn't arrive.

I have some problems getting started with this plugin.

How do I apply:

E-Mail.Update

Can someone give us an example for the plugin?

That would be very much appreciated.
