From: Michael Jackson on 15 Apr 2010 18:40 Good for you for getting a response from the controller! As I stated a few days ago, all of my attempts to communicate with the MLM controller from my Gmail account failed. I have yet to run the script.

Yes, unfortunately that doesn't seem to work correctly with the multiple inboxes feature. 2010/4/15 Oddmund Strømme <oddmund(a)oddmundo.com> > Tony Arcieri <tony.arcieri(a)medioh.com> writes: > > > Hi, yes, you got it right.
