Yes...it was working, but I have another error now. lol

Roxie: this sounds like it might be a conflict with another hack? There aren't any hooks in the posting areas :-/ what other sorts of hacks have you got running, and do you still get this error if you disable all hacks except vBMS?
Only with the method thincom2000 suggested.
If that screenshot is true for every log and there's still mail in the account, then it's most likel connecting to the wrong account, or your mail server just doesn't like PHP connecting to it for whatever reason.
I'm guessing you got through the installation problems if you're asking this. Check the "Mail checking logs" in your ACP (under the vBulletin Mail System area). If there are no logs, then the cronjob probably isn't running. If there are logs, see if there are any errors in there. If it's checking the mail account fine and simply says there are no messages, check with a webmail to see if the catch-all account is even receiving mails. If the webmail shows that the account has mail stuck in it and vBMS isn't picking them up, but vBMS is saying it's checking the account alright and finding 0 messages, then you're either connecting to the wrong account or something's completely wrong.
View the source on that page and lemme know what it says, that error usually means it generated errors in the code but tried to display the text as a GIF :p
ACP > Scheduled Task Manager
Ahhh, I see, it seems to be picking up on the wrong stuff... can you send me a copy of the email headers from that email? In Outlook Express, it's usually File > Properties > Details > Message Source. If you don't want to post them publicly, feel free to PM them to me, and I can try and help you work it out over PM.

When I view the source it shows the source of a GIF. Also if I run the cron separately (not via the AdminCP), I get a GIF of an envelope with an exclamation point.

EDIT: Despite the fact that I still receive that message when running the cron, I edited vbms_functions_checkmail.php again:

Find:
Replace with:
And now it's working no problems...

Thx m8 PM sented

I install it, set my alias and make and set a test account as well. Everything I send to the test account shows up in the catch-all account, of course so does everything the test account sends to my address. Am I missing something here?

either way it never shows any new messages on either account through vBMS, only in the actual webmail itself.

Not sure if this has been addressed but when someone responds to an email with <> it gives the following error. Is there anyway to fix this?

The following errors occured while trying to parse your list of recipients:

* The following aliases could not be translated from usernames or address book entries: name <name@gmail.com>

Got it, will try and get to this as soon as I can
Go through the diagnostic steps I've recommended a few times:

Ahh, thanks for pointing this out, will look into it.

I'm going to try (very hopefully) to put in some time on all these bugs tomorrow night, I've been swamped with homework the last few days and just barely had time to respond to questions. Thanks to everyone so far for working with me on getting the bugs worked out.

I tried it with gmail, yahoo and gmx but I cant get a connection when I want to install it...also tried several ports :(

I have PHP 4 on my server....

Installation failed while "Testing Settings": vBMS couldn't connect to the mail server using the settings you provided. Please go back and verify their accuracy. If you are not sure of the values to use, consult your host.
