| Dec 4, 2021 at 20:11 | comment | added | Anaksunaman | Regarding Super User, in practice, the community at Super User does sometimes make soft recommendations or provide necessary scripts, etc. but not in a vaccum. For instance, recommending email service A over email service B is likely pointless if both services support IMAP access but that isn't a relevant requirement to retrieve emails (ex. the system retrieving the emails only supports POP3). About the last two points, I can understand why these could have been considered answered. But personally I've found short questions tend to lead to quicker closures than oversharing details. | |

| Dec 4, 2021 at 13:26 | comment | added | Hansoff | I also thought that your last two bullitt points had been answered - automation means no GUI (except in initial set up but not in automatic running) - receive email A - start process A to 'switch on device' as I said in my edit. I did think that sharing experiences would allow suggestion of services that may achieve what is wanted to avoid 'reinventing the wheel' - maybe I was wrong. | |
| Dec 4, 2021 at 13:22 | comment | added | Hansoff | To continue the response to David Posthill above: I note that you cannot do any coding for me - fine - but nether can you advise on programming and software development or even product or service recommendation - so I am at a loss. Anaksumanam, thanks, what you mention is really helpful - I have googled without any luck so I turned to this site. The email software is of no importance as it is a vehicle - except that what I wish to do cannot be done with the usual email software. Someone suggested an alternative - thank him/her for that. I thought the automatic part was explained. That was all. | |
