Re: Script for automatic pop3 mail checking...?

(Sorry, I sent this before and have only just realised that it bounced
as I used the wrong address.)

Here ya go, it should be easy enough to understand and modify for your
own use. Replace the fields in CAPS with your values and check
Hamster's help files for any commands or switches that you're not
clear about.

Save as SCRIPT.hsc in the Hamster folder and edit the Hamster entry in
'Startup' so that it reads 'C:\Hamster\hamster.exe SCRIPT.hsc'
(without the quotes) then restart Hamster using that shortcut, or
restart it and start the script from within Hamster.

(I like to have all the 'HamWaitIdle' commands in the script so that
it only does one thing at a time and I can see what's happening in the
logs, but they're not necessary.)

Cheers,
Simon.
