gnorris Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I'm new to AutoIT so have some patience please. I get recipe of the day emails but, downloading the emails is quite tedious so I decided to make a script for it. The problem is that yahoo mail gives me a title like "(331 unread) Yahoo Mail, gregoryrnorris-Mozilla Firefox" which would obviously change the moment a message is read. What I need is a way to make my script wait for firefox to be active without depending on the full title. (This script will be reused everytime I have a build up of recipe emails so I can't just make it subtract from the unread value.) Due to my inherant laziness and distinct lack of time and the fact that I'm not sure if responses will be forwarded to me or not I would appreciate an email with any help. (My email can easily be derived from above content and if I put my email out there in any more obvious way I fear spambots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvanegmond Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 That happens to me a lot. By the way, I have no idea what the 'extension' is for Yahoo email addresses. @yahoo.com or @yahoomail.com or @mail.yahoo.com .... You can press 'Watch this topic' on the top, and you'll receive email replies based on your account preferences. github.com/jvanegmond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yahoo mail extension is "@yahoo.com" and I was referring before to "gregoryrnorris" from my firefox title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
