GreenAsJade Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Does anyone still use email to play PBEM? Do you happen to use gmail? If you do, then H2HH 2.1.1 Alpha is for you to try: it adds gmail support. You have to turn this on explicitly in the Options menu. Once you do that, you need to do Install->Edit and tell it your gmail address. And, for each game where your oppo sends you turns by email, to your gmail account, you need to do Game->Edit and tell it your oppo's email address (IE the address that the turns are coming from). It will do the rest: it will look up your gmail account for turns that your oppo sent, and pull them down into your Incoming, and it will help you compose outgoing emails to your oppo, and send them. This is all thanks to Charles-Texas-Toast-Mac-Reese. He coded this maybe a year ago, it's taken this long to get it "deployed". I hope someone is still using email for H2H games, and can benefit from this GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 GaJ, I'm running 1.5.4. I added CMFI but the games I play under the CMFI tab do not "Tidy" the DropBox although that option is checked. Is this fixed in 1.7 and where can I find it? Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been noticing that too, although strangely enough, not with every game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I'm three for three. Not that's a big hassle or anything to go in to the dropbox and delete files. Just thought I'd point it out. And let me point out too that if anybody is playing PBEM you really should be using H2HH. It makes life so much easier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'll take a look at that Tidy thing. You're definitely talking about the dropbox, not the incoming/outgoing tidying? GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Yep, the dropbox. Incoming /outgoing works fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Dang. It works for me. I don't usually have that turned on, but when I turned it on and hit "refresh" all my dropboxes (CMBN and CMFI) were tidied up. Are you _sure_ it's turned on? Just asking Can someone with this problem do: 1) Exit H2HH 2) Start H2HH (resets the log) 3) Check the option is ticked 4) Press refresh 5) Send me the log. Thanks!

Ted Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Right now I only have the two files in my dropboxes, mine and my opponents, but that's because I just deleted all the earlier files.

Ted Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I closed H2HH and rebooted my machine and all seems normal now. I'll keep an eye on the Dropbox folder and if I see anything odd I'll email you the log file. I sent you an email at your CMMODS addy asking for access to the Dropbox for the H2HH upgrade. Thanks for doing all this, it is making like so much easier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
