enuff said im going to bed good night or good morning or good day whatever it may be where you all are

I will post again after my get my ez-b v4

and thank you all again for trying to help this old wolf

hey old wolf.

I would use this code for email, but you need to tweak it to connect to mail instead of weather.

for mail, just search for pop3 Hotmail, .net

i found one for gmail here http://www.dotnetcurry.com/showarticle.aspx?ID=292

you can likely change some code around to connect to hotmail instead of gmail.

As far as your privacy /security statement: Both hotmail, Gmail (yahoo and others) all funnel your data to government agencies (NSA, IAO.. Etc) . Microsoft (hotmail) actually pioneered this.

All that data is available to contractors who are not govt employees.

For hackers who don't have access to a series of quantum computers at their disposal, you would be safe with gmail or hotmail. (in the past ive seen hotmail breached very often). Furthermore, you can set up settings to only access your email with dual verification, and in some places restrict which ip addresses to allow access.

With that being said, you will need a copy of visual studio to get this running. the idea would be to run a program on your computer which grabs notifications. If a notification is obtained, use the script from the first link, to send to ARC as a speak command.

Hope that helps

I will be working on an email program for ARC this week...

Please post any suggestions you might have here... thank you.

what are you using to develop it

this was developed already in .net. the code is on my website if someone wants to change or improve it.

download here

I wrote it specifically for this one request and only tested it with hotmail. I dont use it, but did test it for a couple of days. It could definitely be expanded upon.

heres an example of sending text to speech in ARC
