new version, 0.3, just released. check the first post in this thread for details.
i've attempted to add a 720p mode, but i don't think i've done a very good job. if some hdtv people (aurora13) could try it out and let me know if it's any good. if you wish to change any of the layout that would be appreciated. simply open xbmcmail.py in a text editor and you'll find that near the top there's a chunk of good for each resolution. simply change the coordinates for the 720p things until you get what you want. i've also added a section for 1080i if someone wants to try that, i haven't even attempted to fill in values for it yet.
if you do find better values for the hdtv resolutions then please send the updated xbmcmail.py to me and i'll include it in the next release.
thanks.

you did a very good job!
yesterday i already changed the 0.2 version by myself, but you did almost the same job and that without a hdtv!
to use a little more of the screen, i will change the 0.3 version to make it more in the style of mine 720p mediacenter skin. will make pictures of both your version and mine version, so you can check easily which one you like.

hmm... i think your xbox should be able to retrieve your hotmail using using hotmail popper running on your pc. run hotmail popper on your pc, but change the config to use your pc's real ip address (not 127.0.0.1.) you can leave all other setting the same.
in xbmcmail.py, enter your pc's ip address for server, and your hotmail username for user, and your hotmail password as pass.

oops. that's what i get for not testing in ntsc when i released 0.3. i've fixed the skin problem now (download 0.3a from the first post in this thread).
as for not being able to run the script. firstly check that you have the file python23.zlib in your /xbmc/python folder on your xbox. if you don't then you need to extract it from the python.rar file that comes with xbmc.
if you do have that file then try running the script from the settings->general->scripts section, and then press the white button on your controller and see what the error message is.
thanks.

you were right. my python folder was empty. i wonder why the other scripts (autoplay and sleeptimer) were able to run. they probably didn't call any of the functions included in the python library.
the skin fix you did helped. it fixed the menus on the right side. however, the large logo on the left still moves down a bit when selecting "my mail" or settings. i'll look into it and try to figure it out.
thanks a lot for your help and quick response!

sorry about that, the skin should be fixed properly now if you download 0.3b.
