Looking for a free mail provider for PBEM From: schiavonir@hotmail.com (Roger Schiavoni) Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2001 16:12:57 +0000 I am currently hosting a PBEM game of the classic board game Advanced Civilization by Avalon Hill. (Email me if you are interested - new game starting soon!) I am a software developer, and I have written a small application to help me with the management of outbound communication - sending turn files and messages. What I'm looking for now is a way to programmatically handle the inbound files. I currently receive the files via hotmail, and each inbound file requires no less than about 6 clicks to download into the proper place on my machine, then several more clicks to archive the message. It gets very tedious. What I'm looking for is a free (or very cheap) mail service which I can easily write a VB program to query and retrieve messages and files and put them in the proper location. In my dreams, I imagine coming home at night to a message on my screen that says - "All files received for Game 1. Generate new turn file." Can anyone recommend any service or software that would help me? Thanks, Roger Referenced By Up
