  • TOSS MAIL

    From Mojo@1:120/302 to All on Fri Jul 15 23:41:42 2022
    How come whenever I try to have fmail toss it comes up with the command options and won't actually toss the mail. I've tried following the commands and use the switch it states in the options to have it still keep displaying how to use it and it won't do anything.


    Thanks

    Do you run it like this?

    fmail toss

    Note that the command string must be "toss", not "-toss" or "/toss".

    Yes that is how I run it but it does not run. It just gives me the commands and options and that is all it does. I will try it again and get a screenshot of what it does and I will post that.

    Can you also show us the output of 'FMailW32.exe about' ? And what is your windows version?


    Bye, Wilfred.


    Btw: Please use your real name. ;)

    It works now I had a brain fart and was doing it wrong even after I read the doc's on how to do it. Some days it just does not pay for me to get up. It works now sorry I bothered everyone on this with me being dumb.


    My version of windows is windows 7



    Thanks

    Well, good thing you found it yourself! ;-)

    That should be ok. I haven't tested it on Windows 11 yet, but up to Windows 10 64 bit it certainly works...

    Bye, Wilfred.
