GetMail (command)

GETMAIL <Settings="name"> [<OnError=Prompt|Abort|Continue>] [<ShowStats=No|Yes>]

The GETMAIL command allows you to download attachments from a POP3 mail account

Settings = Name of the corresponding settings you would like to use for this GETMAIL. You must have previously created these settings from the GETMAIL dialog (File=>Get data via email)

OnError  = Action to take if an error occurs (optional, default = Prompt)

Prompt - Display a message and allow the user to select what action to perform after the error (default value)
Abort - Abort the macro immediately without any messages
Continue - Ignore the error and continue on with the next macro command

ShowStats - Optional, default = No. The macro language has been designed to "automate GSAK". One of default behaviours of this automation is to suppress all GUI type notification messages. This ensures that when you run a macro it "automates" and you are not constantly having your macro stopped by informational messages.However, some messages you may like to still see - like the "statistics box" after load GPX files downloaded with GetMail. This option allows you to view these statistics (Note: this option only applies if your GetMail settings have the "Load folder of saved attachments" box ticked)
