I don't think you need any additional software at all. If I recall right it's a simple edit to the php.ini file.

It certainly isn't software that costs you anything. I'm not the server guru though, so perhaps someone who is can chime in with how easy it is to grab imap :)

I stand corrected, you do need to download and compile one item. I put a link in the first post with a link to installing imap. Seems fairly painless though :)

I think I found the problem. In my case the password being used begins with a zero, but the zero is being dropped for some reason so it's passing an invalid password. If I hardcode the password in, it works.

Changed my password to one without a starting zero and it works, well at least I don't get the cron error anymore. Going to test it all now.

How many characters long is the password?

NM, can't be that.. hehe I've got the field set for 50 characters allowed...

Hmmm, let me test over here too.

Ok seems to be working to a degree, but whenever I reply via email I get back an error saying

Message too short: your message does not have the required minimum amount of characters.

Hold up Quik, I've got a new version I'm about to roll up with that will handle emails that are only coming in as text only format.

Waiting for cory to test it out :)

excellent! happy to test here if you'd like

Thank you so much for your patience quik!!! The zip is up!

The new version is up, just need to reupload the emailintegration.php file to upgrade.

The thing I really hate about the text only emails more so then the html is all the > and * line starts. I'm currently trying to find a way to get preg_replace to rip out the > and * characters if they are on a line by themselves..

Whew.. I'm quite the busy bee!

Heh, I hate HTML email myself, but I'll put up with it for this mod ;)

You are doing a fantastic job! This mod is one I really want to get working properly as we have a lot of folks who prefer using a mail list rather than the forums. This gives us the best of both worlds.

Grabbing the new file for testing now

if you are looking for any input, my preference would be to have it be all text only emails...

HTML just seems to really add a lot of confusion, and I also think that users that are coming from older email discussion groups are used to text only. It really seems to simplify things.

anyway my $.02

great job!
