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?"

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.

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...

    • Meta (Facebook) tends to make horribly designed apps, which not sure if its deliberate or just plain poor design, maybe due to incompetence. For a huge internationally and well known company, this is baffling, they are getting bad PR but I guess they are tok big and super popular and seemingly can get away from any gov thus they are getting away with these blunders. Example their Facebook Stories, when mobile OS uses gestures for years to go back to previous menu, it just tends to swipe to previous or next stories instead of exiting the UI. I have to make sure I swipe from the very edge. This really bad UX but Facebook doesnt car about the bad UI practices. Is this deliberate, malice? Idk, maybe for force engagement, or just somebody never tested their products well about the issue, maybe they think user should know better and just arrogant to thing we are using it wrong?
    • This is insane for a tech focused site tbh. I cant understand anyone who would want this let alone anyone interested in tech or pc's. I understand the want to push stack deals but this is a terrible deal. I have bought a few deals through neowins stack before, they were good deals but this....
    • Its really apparent that these features and how they treat new Outlook now to be only web based to call these features "Offline mode". Like before we just gain features without them being called offline mode feature, but now here it is. It feels like if these codes bugged, we might left with app that is just useless liece kf codes when PC isnt connected to internet, especially laptops and tablets/convertibles.
    • Amazon Deal: Sony 65 inch 4K Bravia 5 2025 Mini LED TV with Dolby Vision/Atmos is $200 off by Sayan Sen Recently, we covered soundbar home theatre deals from Samsung and JBL for under $1000. Those are still selling for their best prices and you can check them out in their respective articles linked above. Obviously, for a home theatre, you also need a display, and depending on the kind of setup and room you have, you could choose a fairly premium projector like Valerion's StreamMaster Plus2 4K that is currently $300 off on Amazon US, or you could look for a TV. If you are looking for something for under $1500 then Sony has a great deal at the moment. The company's Bravia 5 mini LED 65-inch TV is on sale for $1298 thanks to a $200 discount (purchase link under the specs list below). Mini LEDs, unlike LEDs, promise much better precision in terms of backlighting which should lead to better contrasts with deeper blacks and brighter whites without being overblown either way.
