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...

    • Just look at the shiney shiney Vista clone, ignore the fact that they are a disaster in anything AI related. Roll on the class actions for all iPhone 16 owners.
    • Since Windows 8 they still try & error a new Start Menu... And never stop. I'm afraid there is no menu than old start menu from XP - and then we still had 2 choices to select...

    • Download Apple macOS 26 Tahoe, iOS 26 official stock wallpapers in high quality by Aditya Tiwari Apple's latest software design can be thought of as the tech version of 'new year, new me.' macOS 26 is one among them, featuring the "Liquid Glass" as a translucent new material that reflects and refracts its surroundings. The updated macOS design is all over the place, including the Dock, sidebars, and toolbars, which have been refined to focus more on the user's content. Apple continued its annual tradition and introduced new wallpapers custom-made for macOS 26 Tahoe to go along with the new design language. These macOS Tahoe 26 wallpapers are available in light and dark theme options, complementing the transparent menu bar, which makes the display feel bigger. To download the wallpapers to your device, click on the image to open it, then right-click on the wallpaper and select "Save Image As." Apple said during the announcement that "the new design also unlocks more personalization on the Mac. App icons come to life in light or dark appearances, colorful new light and dark tints, as well as an elegant new clear look." Apple's Liquid Design-inspired default wallpapers are also available for iOS 26 in light and dark options. The company has utilised Liquid Design extensively when upgrading the wallpaper experience on iPhones. Lock Screen wallpapers on iPhone create a 3D effect when the device is moved around, giving the illusion that the objects in the image are popping out of the screen. The time displayed on the lock screen fluidly adapts to the available space in an image for a more dynamic feel. Not just the design, Apple has further bridged the gap between iPhone and Mac by adding new Continuity features to macOS 26 on these supported Mac models. This includes the new Phone app that lets you relay phone calls from your iPhone nearby. Just like widgets, macOS 26 can populate Live Activities from a nearby iPhone, enabling you to track your Uber ride, live sports scores, or incoming dinner orders. Source: Apple via 9to5Mac [1,2]
