proccess mail with Thunderbird 2nd time or later..

Thu Feb 26, 2009 11:33 pm

Hi,

I use Mailwasher Pro several years with thunderbird, It is a great program! My question is this..

When I klick on process mail al is working fine, but when I leave Thunderbird open (I gave command in TB that it will not get mail by itself only when it start (by Mailwasher). Is there a way that I don't have to leave TB in order to receiving mail after process mail by Mailwasher?

(sorry for my Englis)
(mods, if you know a better subjectname, do so)

Hi Martin


There isn't a way to automatically do this in MailWasher, or ThunderBird that I can see.

Triggering the email program to download messages after processing in MailWasher is something we would like to add to the program, however as every email program is different this isn't a very simple process.


I know some other users have come up with their own workarounds, so hopefully they post here detailing what it is they do to trigger a download after MailWasher has finished.


Thanks

I recall something about a program, autoit I think.

Dunno if you mean that the problem is that you don't know when MWP is done processing. Perhaps you've noticed that it disappears immediately (i.e. before MWP is done processing) thus your email client gains focus if the next window. In other words, you're now not sure when MWP is done processing.

I've just disabled "Minimize Mailwasher Pro after processing." and make sure that at least part of my client's window was under the MWP window. That way, as soon as MWP is done, the email client gains focus and I know it's OK to download. ;)

Not quite, no. AutoIt is a pseudo scripting language;

I'm fairly sure it's one of the beta testers who runs a script like this, if I remember who it is is, I'll ask them and post the details.
