Description
Email notifier is TCP/IP application that notifies the user if there is email in the user's email server. This application checks email in default time interval of 5 minutes. You can change it with configure menu. this application is a Iconfied application. What I mean is that when you run it, it will appear in the right bottom corner as a icon. When you mouse right-click on it, you will see
If you choose Configure menu, you can configure settings, and you will see
then you can configure
-POP3 Server
-POP3 Server Port
-User Name and Password
--Time Internal that the application checks email
I suggest you that you should enter these information, before you choose the menu "Check Email"
I improved this application by using Microsoft Agent character Genie. Genie will tell you how many emails you have. First of all you have to download Microsoft Agent SDK from the following URL and install it.
http://www.microsoft.com/msagent/downloads.htm
Genie will pop up and tells you the number of email
the following code makes Microsoft Agents work
public frmAgent(int EmailNumber)
{
//
// Required for Windows Form Designer support
//
InitializeComponent();
///you can download Agents from
///http://www.microsoft.com/msagent/downloads.htm
/// first load the character
Agent1.Characters.Load("Genie","Genie.acs");
AgentObjects.IAgentCtlCharacterEx genie=Agent1.Characters["Genie"];
AgentObjects.IAgentCtlRequest reg;
genie.Show(false);
genie.Speak("You Have "+ EmailNumber.ToString()+" emails","");
genie.Think("Should I Leave or Stay, Himmm!!!!");
genie.Hide(true);
}
