buy some books and read then you will be good at VB and can just write some codes! :)

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...
