Do you host your own server, or do you pay a host to take care of your site?

if you pay a host, ask them to setup a pop3 email address for you

You'll need to also know the stuff you need to access the pop3 remotely, which will be a url like mail.yourdomain.com and your username and password :)

Then using those settings, you can try the various connection types, or ask your host which it will be.

Be sure to check in your Admincp -> Maintence -> View PHP Info to be sure you have IMAP compiled :)

Check the first post for details!

When they go to subscribe to the forum there is a new option for "Instant Notification by Email".

This way people that hate mailing lists don't have to mess with them, but those that want it, can select it :)

That option will only show up for forums that have the email integration activated. Other forums will show just the usual forum subscription selections.

Okay, thanks for this explanation.

I'd like to make a feature request, at least with the "greenest" of users in mind... you know, the ones who have never used forum software, let alone vBulletin with all of it's options. The ones who are intimidated by the switchover and want it to just work via email "the way it used to with Yahoo." I know it sounds silly, but walking them through going into each forum, one by one, and subscribing in this way, is a bit counterintuitive.

Would it be possible for there to be an option in the UserCP instead, for users to be able to activate "email integration" for each available forum? Ideally the admins themselves could turn this on as a default, or turn it on for users who don't know how. Right now, there's no way to set a default and no way for admins to do it for users, without logging in as that user and doing it manually per each forum.

I'd love an easier way for this to be used on a forum of complete forum n00bs, is all.

Thanks for your great work on this, Cyricx.

We are totally on the same page. :)

Right now I put a dirty little link on my forumhome page with "Posts by email" in the forum description box for the forums that have email integration enabled but it looks very tacky so I didn't include it in the release til I figure out something better.

I was thinking either a separate page that lists them like you mention.

Or some kick ass way to note which forums people could do it on through an icon or something on the forum home page, that was super easy to understand. Clicking it takes you to the forum subscription for that forum :)

I'm so back and forth on how to make it more simple while still looking and working great. :)

Like the old saying goes... Keep It Simple Stupid :)

Good to hear your feedback and thanks, Cyricx. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with; I trust ya. ;)

great job on this mod! been looking for something like this for a while.

got it installed today and have been testing it out..

the Formatting on my emails seems to not be right, but not sure if it's my client (thunderbird) or something else. I'm getting HTML code, but it's rendering as text

the header on the email is:

Content-Type: text/html
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
X-Priority: 3
X-Mailer: vBulletin Mail via PHP

I can view other HTML email just fine...

any ideas?
thanks again for a great mod

I just noticed one more thing, when trying to create a new thread or reply to a thread via email, the subject of the email is being entered at the message and the actual email body is being dropped off. (which explains why I was getting the message too short error previously when it wasn't)

Thanks for this extremely useful plugin.

On my domain, I use the GMail domain email services and not the server based SMTP/POP3. How do I configure the emails?

Thanks
Moonray

Do you have to do the file edits or not? I see in the instructions about the attachment types, which I don't think I want to do, but does that apply to all file edits or just the first one?

rustybones 07-19-2007 12:22 AM

Ok so me again :) I'm just trying to get this running. I'm now trying out my ISP's pop3. When I run the cron job it says "done"

But then I check the mailboxes on the test users I've setup there are no emails :( What am I doing wrong?
