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...

    • Mozilla really needed to focus on their core product for a while now. I will not mourn the death of pocket or AI garbage. One thing they don't do that I believe they should is advertise more, and not just to their core audience, especially their additional services. Let people know they actually exist.
    • Is this like tailscale?
    • I had no idea you could do this, thanks for the heads up!
    • Bonkers, really, when you think about the resources at Meta’s disposal.
    • You can now use Gemini in Google Forms to summarize responses by David Uzondu Over the last few months, Google has been aggressively pushing its Gemini AI into every corner of its Workspace apps, like generating entire documents from a prompt in Google Docs or creating fully editable charts in Sheets. Now, the company has set its sights on Google Forms. The latest update introduces a feature that uses Gemini to summarize text-based responses automatically. For any form with short-answer or paragraph questions, a new "Summarize responses" button will appear in the Responses tab once you collect more than three entries. Clicking it prompts Gemini to read the form's title, questions, and all the submitted text to spit out a summary of the key themes. Though Google bills this as a fresh expansion into Forms, we have actually had some Gemini intelligence in the app for a bit through the "Help me create a form" button. That feature, which drafts questions for you, was rolled out through the company's Workspace Labs program. For those unaware, Workspace Labs is basically Google's public testing ground, available in select countries, for new, and sometimes unproven, AI tools before a general release. Once a summary is generated, you can copy it to use elsewhere or hit "Retry" to see if Gemini comes up with a different take. If new responses roll in after you have generated a summary, you can click a "Refresh" button to update it with the latest data. For now, this feature is only available in English, and to use it, you'll need access to a paid Google Workspace plan, such as Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, or Enterprise Plus. It is also available to customers who pay for the Google AI Pro and Ultra plans or specific Gemini Education add-ons. The feature has started rolling out gradually, for Rapid Release domains, and will begin rolling out for Scheduled Release domains on June 26.
