apple script mail problems

[James Sentman]

Good morning Sal,

First of all this script is awesome! :) I LOVE IT! I don’t have a speech output from XTension right now into the house where anyone could hear it, but I think I need to set that up ;) You should also get an Alexa and add:

say “alexa, play the final countdown volume 10” 

or something else ;) I’m also curious about the PlaySound app. XTension can do that now by itself and gives you lots of options for where to send it and so forth. You can drop that mp3 file into the Sounds folder that is created in the same folder with XTension (or if XTension is in the Applications folder then it is created in your Documents/XTension Support folder) and then use the “Play Sound” verb like this: http://www.machomeautomation.com/doku.php/dictionary/human/playsound <http://www.machomeautomation.com/doku.php/dictionary/human/playsound>

But thats besides the point of the email not working. An error 28 from the email system is a timeout. I need to expand those errors a bit as just saying 28 is not immediately helpful without sending me an email first to look it up… Added to my list. 

Can you send an email from Mail.app on that machine with the same SMTP settings? If not then it’s a connection to the SMTP server that is failing for whatever reason. If you can then it’s something different either in XTension’s email settings or in how I’m handling the encryption or something under the hood.

If it works in Mail but not in XTension please go into the Email Setting tab of XTension’s preferences and double verify that all the addresses and ports and user/password settings are the same as in Mail’s SMTP setup.

If there are no obvious differences can you please email me, off the list, a screen shot of the XTension email preferences screen and the SMTP server screen from Mail that shows the server address and ssl settings and such? It may be that the smtp libraries in XTension are refusing to connect to the server due to it running an older ssl system or something like that. I don’t need your smtp passwords or anything like that, just the screen shots with the user name will be enough to be getting started with.

Thanks,
  James
