After hibernating the computer and waking up again, pop2owa don't work. You need to click on apply to work properly.

Allright - I didn't get how to write a script to automatically restart Pop2owa on wakup. Here's how you can do it - though a bit difficult to setup and including 2 closed source progs (both freeware).

  1. Download and install Hibstart as stated on http://home.arcor.de/domaende/HibStart (no installer - so you must add the files to the proper folders on your own) - Put it in HKLM autostart folder (I use startup utilities for easing this).
  2. Download NirCmd and unzip to a folder from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html (no install needed for this program).
  3. Add the following two entries to your newly created HibStart folder in Autostart: C:\Programs\0Tools\nircommand\nircmd.exe closeprocess pop2owa.exe C:\Programs\pop2owa\pop2owa.exe

Is there any possibility to kill pop2owa from the commandline? If yes then this would reduce the workaround to 1 closed source freeware program.

Thanks for your feedback. I think that it's a feature easy to implement, maybe for the next release.

Implemented -quit parameter to kill pop2owa process, added additional code to avoid more than one instance of pop2owa. This exe it's only for testing, code not is submitted to SVN, maybe I made a new release this weekend. File Added: pop2owa.zip

Thanks, that makes one program less to properly start up after hibernate. Both switch as well as only allowing one instance to run is working on my laptop. That shortens the process to:

  1. Download and install Hibstart as stated on http://home.arcor.de/domaende/HibStart (no installer - so you must add the files to the proper folders on your own) - Put it in HKLM autostart folder (I use startup utilities for easing this).
  2. Add the following two shortcuts to your newly created HibStart folder in Autostart: a) C:\Programs\pop2owa\pop2owa.exe -quit (name this something like "01 - close pop2owa) C:\Programs\pop2owa\pop2owa.exe (name the shortcut something like "02 - reopen pop2owa so that it gets executed after 01)

Hi. I'll upload the source code this weekend and make a new release with a new installer. Thanks for your test, I don't have too much free time during the week.
