Greetings, I'm trying to create a program that will (more or less) send emails. I have everything going pretty good, minus the annoying security error pop-ups. Now I have been able (with the help of google and here) to do work-arounds for this (using Win32::GuiTest).

I'm running the 'error monitor' subroutines with Thread, so that they are running in the background. When the first error pop-up comes, I'm able to select max time, and proceed. When the second error pops up, wait the 5 seconds, and proceed.

So what's the problem? It could be 1 min, or it could be 1 hour before a second email is sent, causing havoc with the first error pop-up. How do I extract the actual text within the error pop-up itself?

I've googled and searched this site for hours on end, and no luck. Best I can come up with for extracting text is: 
Win32::GuiTest::GetWindowText($window)

[download]
and 
Win32::GuiTest::WMGetText($window)

[download]
Both however, return the same for me, which is "Microsoft Office Outlook". Any suggestions on how to extract the actual text in the error box, or at least how to tell the difference (in code) between the two? Any help is appreciated.
