Product Description:

MarcoPolo brings context-aware computing to your portable Mac computer. It allows your computer to determine its context through gathering evidence from your environment (evidence sources), using flexible rule-based fuzzy matching to make an educated guess (rules), and then performing arbitrary actions upon changing context (actions).

MarcoPolo's concept of contexts is a generalisation of a location, and encompasses more than just where your computer is. A context might represent what you are doing, or what else is going on around you.

MarcoPolo quietly stays in the status bar at the top of your screen (right-hand side of the menu bar), from where it can be configured to your own needs.

Fix a broken thunderbird? - Version: 2.5, 6/3/2009 05:16PM PST

MyScreenName99

I have a laptop that I carry around from home to work.
I use Thunderbird Email Client.
Depending on where I am the outgoing smtp server is different.
I can't use the SMTP server of work when I'm home and vise versa.
If I had a third smtp server i might get lucky that it would work in
either location, but no.. not me.

So eventually I change location and I have to change thunderbird's
outgoing smtp server settings... Usually after try to send and get a
message saying I can't connect to the smtp server....
Once for each account.... :(

So when I log is is there a way for the os to know where I am and
tweak these minor differences somehow?
I see under system prefrences, network, locations... but I'm not sure
that take me far enough.. It doesn't setup outgoing smtp
configurations...

From what I hear MarcoPolo might help me.

I have been using MarcoPolo for about 4 or 5 months now and I absolutely love it. It makes handling moving from one network to another an absolute breeze and completely automatic. It automatically changes between my wifi networks and my 3G wlan card when I insert the card. It includes things like changing SMTP servers for different networks which network locations does not do. I highly recomend this utility for laptop users.

I am delighted with MarcoPolo - Version: 2.2, 10/1/2007 03:13PM PST

because it does exactly what it says it will do. I set it up to switch location and default printer based on the IP address and I now don't give it a thought because it all just happens automatically. And you can't beat the price :)
