buMAIL.bat Done!

[Tim Musson]

Someone asked to see my buMAIL.bat when I completed it, so here it is (I
even documented it a bit!).  It requires calling more external bits of
code than I like, but it works on my Win2k ThinkPad.

If anyone has any suggestions on easier/better (I know, that is
subjective) ways to do parts of it I would be interested in hearing
about it.

Hey Peter,

My MUA believes you used Sylpheed version 0.8.10claws72 (GTK+ 1.2.10; 
i386-debian-linux-gnu)
to write the following on Monday, March 17, 2003 at 7:44:28 AM.

PP> should only return when the exit was sent to the proc...ess ... *geee* I
PP> see!!! this second instance you're starting (if there already is a
PP> thebat.exe process running) recognizes the first one, sends it an 'exit'
PP> signal and terminates itself immediately, while the first instance is
PP> still shutting down and e.g. compressing or whatever needs to be done
PP> ... *hmmm*

LOL, now you see my problem... :-)

PP> I guess you're out of luck on Windows, unless you find a program
PP> that allows you to check on command line or via return code the
PP> existance of a process, like 'ps' does. Than you could write a small
PP> loop that waits until termination has taken effect.

Anyone else know of something? I guess I will stick with a pause command
because TB takes a different amount of time to shutdown depending on the
message base state...

PP> But don't ask me for such a tool :-) Every time I was in the need for
PP> "controling my OS" I took Linux *eg* :-)))

It *would* be nice to have a choice of OS, but I am on my company's
notebook, and they have standards (Linux is one, but it doesn't have all
the things I need yet, and my current client runs only MS...).

RO> What makes you think TB doesn't pass control back?

:-)
The .bat opens a cmd window, but does not close it after TB starts back
up. If I open a cmd window and run the .bat, I don't get a prompt back
after the last line. ^C, ^X, ^Z ^break all have no affect, but if I
close TB, I immediately get a command prompt back.

RO> Maybe you've just set some properties wrong?

I don't think there are any properties to affect this... Anyone know of
any?

I am guessing it is a Post Office Agent [POA] (doing POP, IMAP, and

that I have also seen on Message Transfer Agents [MTA].

An MTA is what moves your mail around the networks, and the POA is

Cool! I used telnet (port 25) to connect to BatPost, then TB to pop

Do I know what I am doing, no..., but it still seems *very* cool! I
wonder what RIT is going to charge for it.

Lots of options that I can't seem to figure out.  ie, in the
Configurator\Options\SMTPAuth\Local: there is a default of "Enable 3".
Any idea what that stuff is?

It looks like it is a POA with MTA features built in.  Lots of options
that I can't figure out...  Seems to be able to do both POP, IMAP, and
SMTP.  Did they write this so they could have their own
IMAP server and be able to get into the core of it while updating TB!

I don't think www.MyRealBox.com has a limit on the number of other pop
services it will get mail from, but I don't know how often it gathers
mail...

I have a number of accounts on MyRealBox, and I use POP3 with all of
them with no problems.  How do you have TB! set up to get the mail
(Account|Properties|Transport)?

>From previous posts I think TB! has not fully implemented IMAP4.  I
have not had good luck using IMAP4 in TB!, but have not really needed
it yet. I will need it when I get my ancient GroupWise account up so I
can pull all my old mail and folders, so if anyone can shed some light
on how well TB! does IMAP4 (and what it's behavior is), I would be
interested... .

BTW Dean, IMAP4 is similar to POP, but it adds the ability to have
folders (sync'ed on the server and client), and it lets you leave mail
on the server and mark it "read".

One of the reasons I registered my own domain.  I can point my
[EMAIL PROTECTED] address at any "real" account I want, and change as
often as I like.

I don't get enough mail at my Yahoo account for this to be a problem,
but I seem to remember there being a thread on this in the TBUDL a
while back. I think the answer was that Yahoo will time the messages
out after a time. I also recall that it was not a feature you could
change.

A possible solution is to use a free mail service like www.gmx.net, or
www.MyRealBox.com.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
