Email processing problem

Hello,

I've an email processing problem with ZP 4.0.7

I have a few hundred hotmail accounts to check for emails, so I made a template with a loop:

- take a line in table with login and password
- process mail with these variables. It checks just 1 time for email.
- if email is found, write login and password in a 'OK' file
- if not found, writes login and password in a 'KO' file
-> loop

regexp to find the email an extract datas is the same: word1|word2|word3

If first email is found, all is correct till there is an account without the email I search for. There, PM writes in the 'OK' file (but there is no email) and keeps the old value of the variable (ie. 'word2' if it founds 'word2' in the previous loop). After that, it always writes in the 'OK' file, with the same variable value ('word2'), even if there is no email or if the email containts another word.

If first email is not found, ZP writes always in the 'KO' file, with the same variable value (empty=''), even if there is an email.

I don't understand what's happening. I don't know if that's a bug, but it doesn't work as I expected...

Any idea?

PS:
I need a loop because I work with vpn and change IP automaticly at the beginning of the template (the change takes 15-30 seconds, a long time, thus I can't change IP at every check)

That's for checking if accounts are working and for keeping these accounts alive on the long run (they send email each other). Other solutions exist, ie. just login on the account.

But the problem with email processing is annoying: no loop until I understand what's happening.

Thanks rostonix,

Yes, that's a solution, but I've experienced problems with hotmails web interface: sometimes it's impossible to click on anything (hotmail problem first I think, or IP, I don't know). I prefer email checking. If loop don't work for any reason, ok, I'll proceed another way.

Anyway, if what I describe is real, don't you think that's a problem?

I just send you an email with template.

Thanks for all

Hi rostonix, do you have some time to take a look at the template I send you yesterday? I would know if I do something wrong or if that's a bug

ok...

For a good end of this thread:

The problem is simple I think: action "receive emails" keep the state of his first accomplishement.

Thus, no loop. If you need to perform multiples emails checks in one run of a template, you need to have multiple actions "receive emails".

That's all.

Yes! Good idea! Life goes on
