Title: If you use Vista Sidebar
Post by: MoHux on Nov 18, 2007, 19:18:44
I d/l this (http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDetail.aspx?li=25e23138-83d9-4690-af21-c0ab6f745dc8&bt=1&pl=1) 'Gadget' for notifying new mail arrival.

It shows up to 5 accounts.  Works a treat in Vista (Business) using OE.

;D

Can't get it to work.  :(  Just keeps saying 'Unavailable' each time it tries to check an account.  Oh well, nothing wrong with Mail Washer anyway.  :)

I can't understand why you are having problems Si.  The reason I posted it was because it worked first time for me. :timeout:

I opened each relevant OE 'account' alongside the programs setup, which made it easy to copy.

Is the address of your Mail Client correct at the bottom, mine started 'C:\Program Files\ ..........' whereas it is actually on 'D'.  ::)

Sorry if it looks like I am trying to teach you how to suck eggs Si, but it's very often the little things.  ;D

My mail client is Thunderbird, Mo, and I don't think that's anything to do with it, as it wouldn't even get past the checking for mail stage.  I wonder if it's just for Vista Business?  I have Home Premium.  (http://si6776.www.idnet.com/smileys/dunno.gif)

I note it says 'selectable mail client' in the description, Simon. Were you given an option to select TBird?

I just browsed to the TBird exe file, Rik, but as I said, it didn't even appear to manage to log into the mail servers.
