this was kinda unexpected, but i needed something that sends an email using OE on WinXP pro today so i came to this software through searching. But since im in such a hurry to get this up and running, i cant really learn all the features yet. What i want to do is:


Send an 1 email to 2 people HOURLY, for 7 days. Lets say my email body is "testing" for now....can someone show me how to go about setting this up? Thanks, this is very urgent.

If you look in the Sample Scripts directory you'll find this script:

## mail_basic_test.tg
# Ask the mail service to send a message for you.
# This script logs into MAPI using the profile
# This scrip assumes:
# 1. EMAIL_PROFILE has been set. Usually set in Config.tg
# 2. A MAPI email client installed (e.g. Outlook)
# 3. This script is running in an accout that has a MAPI profile.
# (NOT running in the LocalSystem account. See the documentation on running Proxy
# services at http://www.tomasello.com/software/wincron/system_service.htm)

# send an email
{
-name mail_basic_test
-start
-stop
-action -onerror operation_fail
-action -print logon to email. This may take a moment...
-action -mail Logon myHandle "%EMAIL_PROFILE%"
-action -print sending an email
-action -mail SendMail test@wincron.com "the subject" "the body"
-action -print logoff from email
-action -mail Logoff myHandle
-action -print done!
}

# operation failed
{
-name operation_fail
-action -print mail failed with error:
-action -print %TG.LAST_ERROR%
-action -return abort
}

You should probably work on understanding this script and getting it to work.

Once you do that, I'll help you with the scheduling part. (Hint: it's the -start directive.)
