| Brad 20/12/2002 8:25pm | Hi,
I'm currently looking for a freeware email program for students in use on a school network. Your problem looks very good, except for the issue of storing email account settings. I notice the account settings appear to be stored in scribe.r. Is there a way to locate this file where the actual mailbox EMAIL.mail2 file is located? The reason I ask this is that I was hoping to have the application run from a shared programs network drive, and the mailbox/account settings stored on the student's personal H: drive. Also, would there be a way to script/automate setting the account settings? (eg, so I don't have to manually enter 600 different account settings :-) ) Basically all I need to change is the User's name, email address and POP logon. I'd be happy to write a util to directly modify the scribe.r(?) file if you'd be perpared to disclose the file's structure. Cheers Brad |

Secondly if, while specifying the options file with the command line you use the extension ".ini" then the file is written/read as a windows, text based ini file instead of the binary format that I use for property lists. Several people before have made working multi-user systems based around the .ini options file and the command line switch solution. |
