Hi everyone,
I'm a new convert to Mozilla. I switched to Firefox and Thunderbird four days ago (from IE and NS Communicator 4.79). With Communicator, I was able to monitor the "last modified" status of a specific file to tell an external VB app when I received new mail (I'm not a CS major, and have no better way of external mail notification). I used this data to send a wireless "new mail" signal throughout my apartment (useful for monitoring Email while watching TV, cooking, studying, etc.).
How can I get the same external "new mail" notification to my VB app with Thunderbird?
Things I've tried:
1. Check "last accessed" status of "mail notification" wav files.
2. Fake a VB script as a wav file, and tell TB to run it with new mail notification.
3. Unzip the chrome jar files, and monitor the "last accessed" status of the new mail icons.
I've also tried altering alerts.js and alerts.xul to no avail. Can anyone give me some advice?
