The gadget saves private messages from Wincustomize to your documents folder. That's it.

I know, we always want more...lol.
Any chance of it notifying of new incoming PMs?

I had to convince Norton that it was okay, then when I ran it I forgot, I had just cleaned out my messages. It does seem to work okay.
Thank you for posting this.

Quoting RedneckDude, reply 1Whoa, that is awesome!!!! How sure is it that no one else can download mine?
Did you download anyone elses?

So, long as you're not logged in as someone else, it will only DL your PMs. Wincustomize uses a universal url for messages: https://forums.wincustomize.com/pm
That's the one the gadget uses.
Thanks for the feedback everyone.
Almost forgot. This will just be for message collection (sorry Jim!) Checking for new messages would make the gadget more complicated than I'd like.

How long is it supposed to take to download them...it's been stuck at 50% for the past half hour.

How many messages do you have? When I had 43 messages in my inbox, it took a minute or so. A couple of factors might affect it: # of messages, internet connection, CPU usage; it probably shouldn't take that long, so you might go ahead and restart the gadget.
I'll see if I can work in an abort/retry function.

The logic is simple: If using the app, you cannot download anyone else's pm's, then why would you think someone else could download yours?
Besides, that is a "that's my job" kind of question, don't you think, bud?

Just a simple question, Doc.
I meant don't quit your day job as a comedian....my poor attempt at humor. < Why does that look like a link?

86 messages.
I ended up closing it. When i run it now, it opens at 50% and stays there. Where is the temp directory so I can clean it up and retry it?

Your stuff makes me (almost) wish that I used a Windows PC as my primary at home.
I'll give it a shot tomorrow at the office (if the build isn't expired)

I tried it and no matter what I do it says I am not logged in even though I am

I'll give it a go.... my 'inbox' is usually on 500 ...till I dump some of the least relevant to allow more.....

500! *says a prayer*
Might be a cache issue. I'll look into it.
