Title: ALMOST PAINLESS EMAILER ADDER FOR AHP NOW...
Post by: mike on September 06, 2016, 01:56:10 PM
So I saw I can add PCC (thank you Tuiceman!) to run in background on my computer always, in order to have email send capability again, but I wanted a simpler, less invasive approach...    I found free SwithMail.exe....  Now anything can be emailed on demand from ahp with the built in command line icon.  Simple command line emailer, no installation required... Since I just had to spend 30 minutes figuring it out and setting it up, I thought I would share my 1-2-3 steps:

1) download here:  https://sourceforge.net/projects/swithmail/?source=typ_redirect
2) copy swithmail.exe to your ahp directory
3) run the program, and do it in GUI at bottom
4) fill in your gmail or whatever account info - just follow the arrow.  test it to prove it works.
5) save it as easy name - mine are "swithmailAlarmSet," "swithmailAlarmCommanded," etc
6) click show me the CLI (command line command), copy and paste it into AHP command line interface
7) be sure to just put swithmail.exe in command line command, and copy the rest into the argument line in AHP

Email works like a champ again!
