have you looked into it?

all my å is =c5 and ä is =c4 etc...

thanks for a great script!
i have had a quick look, but to be honest i don't really know what i'm looking for. if someone knows what it is then let me know and i'll try and fix it.

type 'ipconfig /all' at a command prompt in windows. unless you're using windows 9x in which case i think you need to type winipcfg or something similar.

i've got the adsl connection shared, so the xbox does connect to the internet as i can view imdb info

so would this be a general error with the e-mail server (web-mania) as opposed to my setup?

anyone else had this error? Confused :help:
i was getting the same message but could still listen to web radio.
it was because i haven't got the dns set up in my computers network settings.
in my internet connection settins i found out that im assigned a dns server automatically at login and cant find out what it is so if anyone knows how to find out what it is please post1
there is a way round it though,
1. go to <a href="[url]www.dnsstuff.com"[/url] target='_blank'>http://www.dnsstuff.com</a>
2. in the "dns lookup" box type in ur pop3 server like "pop3.supanet.com"
3. get one of the ip addresses and use that as the server name instead of the text name.
i use server = '213.40.66.73' instead of server = 'pop3.supanet.com'
:joker:
i'll try that then

only problem i get now is a black screen whenever i attempt to get into the 'my email' section and this freezes up xbmc entirely so i have to switch it off via the power switch Stare

i've just put a new skin on xbmc, ("project mayhem") however, the 'my e-mail' menu option does not appear to be available when this skin is selected.

i've tried adding the home.xml skin file from the xbmcmail.v0.3 archive but had no luck.

any suggestions anybody? Smile hehe...

is it possible to add a delete function to xbmc mail.
most of the mail i recieve i read only once and then i delete it anyway.

this would make a fine addition i think

but thanks for the program anyway

:thumbsup:

you start scripts in project mayhem from "my files" there is a button on the left called scripts.
