  • Scheduling polls

    From Louis Northmore@2:250/8 to All on Monday, February 28, 2022 12:13:14
    Hello everybody!

    It would be cool if polls could be scheduled or on a timer.
    Perhaps with some kind of configurable audio notification too.

    Do you mean to have the software regularly (means beasically "all the time") poll in the background like an email client does?

    Yeah, would be nice to configure a polling schedule and an audible alert for new messages.

    Hoe about letting the Windows Task Manager do that? The WTM is /very/ flexible...
