It’s a very simple app for polling a gmail account for a shutdown request mail.  All you have to do is send an email with a specific subject like "SHUTDOWNMYPC" to that gmail account and this program will poll that mail periodically and when it sees an email with a shutdown request it will shutdown the PC.I suggest you make a new gmail account for this as I’m storing user/pass info as plain text. Settings file :Line 1 : newly created gmail accountLine 2 : password of the accountLine 3 : Custom Subject (you can leave it as it is , no need to change)Line 4 : Polling time interval in minutes. I’ve set it to 5, you can change it to any number. 5 means the program will poll the account every 5 minutes. This application needs to be run in the administrator mode in Vista, so make a shortcut and under advanced settings check "Run as administrator" if you have Vista. If you have any problems post here.NOTE : you need .Net framework.</blockquote>
