BlueMail V1.0.1

Made by: awsumben13


BlueMail is an email program that is different to all others…it doesnt need you to setup loads of wireless pc's all over the world to act as 'servers' and you dont need to go through a horrible complex setup that makes you wish you never got it.

All you have to do is type in BlueMail and it runs…

and it updates real-time! (i think)


When you are in the main page, compose mail bit (not while writing), inbox, or rednet settings it will receive an email and save it to a file (called messages) which is then accessed and displayed in the inbox page


If you are sending emails from one BlueMail to another then it includes the id of the sender, the subject and the main text but it will still work from bluemail to any other email or vice versa


Screenshots:
Spoilercoming soon (idk how to add them)


Still to come:
Better GUI in Inbox
Ability to delete individual emails
Text will be added instead of replacing in the body part of compose mail
Lots of bugs squashed





Please, if you find any bugs or glitches or anything wrong…just pm me and i will try to sort it out, after all it is a brand new and quite advanced program so there are bound to be lots of bugs :L

Also contact me if you have any questions/suggestions/anything else ;)/>/>

Bug 1: Cant exit out of rednet on/off menu.

Bug 2: Cant type when composing new letter

Bug 3: (more a suggestion) When you hit send and there isnt anything typed out, instead of the whole program crashing make it so it says something like "Error, fields not inputted"

Bug 4: Cant open inbox. Nil error on line 372 i belive?

if you dont have any emails then it wont show them yeh. so if it just sais delete emails and stuff then its because you dont have any
one other problem is that the file messages might not be there because it creates itself when you get an email so make a file called messages then try

If no mail, then you get error, you should make it say something like. No mail

And the other mail programs had servers, because if the mail program is not running they won't get the email. So the other mail programs send the email to the servers, wich are online all time.
Suggestion: what about making an background function wich receives the emails all time and runs all time?
