hi there ;) I just found the script (I want to use it for some automatic email-stuff) and I still have (after trying debugging & prints for 100 times ^_~) the problem mentioned above... the mail I use for testing is nothing special... a rtf as an attachment and a test subject a "test" as a message together with the normal stuff like name,telephonenumber etc... Can somebody please tell me where the mistake is :( ? OS is WindowsXP in this case (German version below ... the Path just links to my projectfolder but the script only creates HASH-files xP no .txt or something like that :P) oh did ya notice that my "how do I name this project" sucks,too :>?

edit says: I just added the print Dumper( $MsgTxt ); which results in

$VAR1 = 'Received: by mymailserver
    id <01C81A05.60F5A3EC@mymailserver>; Mon, 29 Oct 2007 09:26:18 +01
+00

and there ARE unread messages in the mailbox xP if there aren't any the script tells me that I should get an unread one ;)
here are the erros I get:

MsgBS -->HASH(0x1e6bdb8)<--

here is the code I use at the moment (atm only with one "extra-print" I delete the other prints again because I think the main problem is focused at the MailBS-point):
