Hi still again,
I hate to be posting still another topic/question but I can't really find anything on this either. It seems like I attract the strange problems like a magnet.....
I've been setting up email control, and I have it working except for one issue and one question:
Question - I read several things here about ph_processemailthread being better because it would not hang PowerHome if there was a problem with the mail client but I can't get it to do anything. The ph_processemail function works fine though.
Issue - When I execute my process email macro, it fires up windows live mail, reads and executes any control emails, deletes them, etc. BUT windows live mail stays running. If I send another control email and run the macro again, it downloads waiting email(s) but never does anything with it/them. It only seems to work when starting with windows live mail NOT running.
By the way, I switched from Windows 7 64 bit to Windows 7 32 bit on my PowerHome PC just to eliminate any of my problems being caused by the 64 bit OS.

So I solved the Windows Live Mail problem with a sendkeys macro to close it after emails are downloaded and processed. Still not sure about what's better to use a) ph_processemail() or b) ph_processemailthread() but am sticking with the first as the other doesn't work for me.

Derek,
Not sure why the ph_processemailthread function would be causing problems for you but it is newer and preferred. Obviously if it doesnt work you need to use what works for you. Both methods are outdated however and a new method is on the to do list which eliminates MAPI altogether and will connect directly to your email via pop3 or imap.
I'll also look into what issues ph_processemailthread may be having on Win 7.
Dave.

Dave,
I'll have another go with the ph_processemailthread function when I have time. May be something I'm doing wrong. Right now I seem to have things working using the other function pretty well.
The new method which does away with MAPI will be great!!
