0 session Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 buy some books and read then you will be good at VB and can just write some codes! :) //The point is, you don't really expect people to start a thread and ask "How do I make an OE-like program." Someday, someone would create a thread and ask "How do I make a Windows-like OS in notepad?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rollinup Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 Well I'm just looking for a little hint here and there ;) I dont need the whole thing done for me by someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 aldo Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Well it sounds like you do ;). To make a very simple program like OE you'd need to: Have some sort of list view which can get the messages off a POP3 server Have reply and compose abilities and be able to send via SMTP And also track which messages have been read. Not really that hard. Learn some POP3 and SMTP commands and see how you get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Maleboligia Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 (edited) -EDIT- I re-read the topic and realized my post was not applicable.

0 Veiva Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 And.. how do you? :whistle: That was uncalled for! ;) You need a compiler too! Not just notepad! Then you can ask. :yes: :whistle: ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 anog Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Can you write an OS using VBScript and IE as the "compiler"? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 John Veteran Posted July 23, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 23, 2004 Can you write an OS using VBScript and IE as the "compiler"? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: OSes need to have bootloaders that take over control of all the hardware. That won't happen while Windows is running, unless you make "virtual" hardware... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
