I also would be keen to use this mod if it was updated for 4.2.x

Cyricx can we persuade you back to do some work on it?

Offering $300 for viable, 4.x update without bugs. Who wants to join in by offering a collective bounty in the section for developer requests? Together, we can make it worth their time.

Cyrix, original post mentions donation to continue your work/support. Is that offer still viable?

Notice. The administration of vbulletin.org is going to lock posting to version 3.7 and lower forums. If you care about reply by email for 4.x, then you've got to act now and show you're serious. This thread is going to get locked.

I have started a new thread here for vbulletin 4.x reply by email addon.

I am also contacting Cyrix so he's aware that I would like him to keep providing support or give permission for updating the code which he modified from Colin to get this working in 3.x.

I'd be happy to support this as a paid mod. BTW, for some reason I can't post a reply to the new 4.x thread.

I see that the last update was on 29 Feb 2008, so it seems to be unsupported, but, do you know if it will be compatible with VB5?

I believe I have this working in 4.2 (you can send that $300 to.... :-> )

However, I'm struggling with the parameters to use in the Forum Manager and in trying to get the email settings to work

Here's what it says in the original writeup:

In your forummanager use the following settings:

email address to reply to: username@gmail.com
hostname: pop.gmail.com
username: username@gmail.com
password: password
Type of connection: select "POP3 with SSL (Self signed certificate)"


my forum is hosted at 1and1.com so here's what I believe I should be entering:

email address to reply to: answerline@diganswerline.org
hostname: pop.1and1.com
username:answerline@diganswerline.org
password: password

I don't see the SSL option anywhere:
Type of connection: select "POP3 with SSL (Self signed certificate)" I have it set as POP3

I've also tried every combination of 1and1.com and diganswerline.org with no success.

Here's what I get when I test it with the email integrations Forum Settings Help

Warning: imap_open() [function.imap-open]: Couldn't open stream {diganswerline.org:110/pop3/notls}INBOX in [path]/admincp/admin_ei_search_settings.php on line 132

Which makes sense as 1and1 wants it to be pop.1and1.com not diganswerline.org as the hostname

When I replace it with 1and1 I get:

Warning: imap_open() [function.imap-open]: Couldn't open stream {1and1.com:110/pop3/notls}INBOX in [path]/admincp/admin_ei_search_settings.php on line 132

Yes I have looked to see if IMAP is on by going to Admincp-> Maintenence -> View PHP Info
The IMAP block shows up as c client version = 2007 and SSL and kereros support as "Enabled"

Any ideas what I'm not doing?


Jim

Any chance someone has this working on vb5?

This mod is very important for any vb admin, why doesn't vb care enough to make this mod built-in feature anyways??

I also interested to support this idea.

I've got this working under vB 4+.

I haven't any idea how to get the update onto here so it can be used by the community.

Anyone out there who might know how to go about doing that?

Jim

WOW!! Really?

I think I speak for many when I write: THANK YOU!!!

I can't help with the upload, but I am sure others will...

Thanks Jim! Looking forward to using this again...
