I posted the same thread on MorphZone, but it was pointed out to me that this thread really belongs here as well. This isn't a "red blue" thing, but a fix for newer versions of Microdot2.
The following ARexx script can be cut and pasted into your favorite editor, and saved as an .mdrx file. Put this file into your MicroDot2 Arexx (or MDRexx for users of MDMaster), and it will automatically check for mail every two minutes.
You NEED a wait command in your path. To test this, simply pull up a shell and type wait ?. If the command is there you will get a return. When you exit MicroDot2, the script will also exit.
Anyway, to the script...
