Check your Gmail

[Sardith]

I've done a few searches, and haven't found anything to promising. What I'd like to do is check if i've recieved any new mail, and if I have it displays a tooltip "One new message".

I've looked at _INetSmtpMail, and _INetMail.

Any place to start would be great.

Why not use the gmail notifier built into google talk?

[Sardith]

Yeah, that's what I have, but Im trying to do it in autoit for some experiance.

I believe you would have to do one of the following:

- use IE.au3 to read the gmail page once in a while

- enable pop access in gmail and use that pop access to check gmail.

However, I have not done either of these and have no experience in either.

Thats what id like to do, but im not sure how to check the pop server with autoit.

I believe this is what you seek.

Tryed it with Pop Enabled and it didn't work.

It cannot connect to the popserver.

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: pop.gmail.com

Use SSL: Yes

Port: 995

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)

Use Authentication: Yes

Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)

Port: 465 or 587

Account Name: your Gmail username (including @gmail.com)

Email Address: your full Gmail email address (username@gmail.com)

Password: your Gmail password

As I said before, I have no experience in using either of these methods. I do hope that you will have help from someone else though.
