Can VBMS run with Google mail for it's SMTP and POP servers? Or does it require a localhost server?

Usergroups. I'm not being picky in my product about that, but that's how vBulletin works. Everything else permissions-related is based on usergroups, not on individual people being allowed.
You can try if you like, but why would you do that? You'd have to get your server's catch-all to forward everything coming in to a Google mail account, then check the Google mail server remotely... which really is just a waste of traffic.
True, but a lot of users will not have the ability to install PEAR on their website.
You're saying that if you send a letter from Outlook to the vBMS, it doesn't work? This surprises me, since Outlook is primarily what I've been testing with.
The idea is that, if one attachment is potentially dangerous, any other attachments probably are as well. I might make that an option though.

My server does not support "catch all" e-mails, any other way for this to work?

Well I got problem in installation ... It says like this

"Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /admincp/vbms_install.php on line 74"

vBMS Upgrade in Progress

installation Complete.... And I cant see anything in my AdminCP.. Please help

The VBMS was causing me a database errors when I tried to uninstall it, so I tried to remove the vbms_ tables in phpmyadmin.
I now cannot enter my website at all now, nor do I have a recent backup. I try to reinstall it, but I cannot do this, so now my website won't work...........
Can you advice me?

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.5:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT phrasetypeid, title, product

WHERE phrasetypeid IN (500);

Thats the error I get any help??

Well I deleted all of previous installation thru phpMYadmin.... Now i got new error in my installation...

Warning: imap_open() [function.imap-open]: Couldn't open stream {localhost:110/pop3}INBOX in /includes/vbms_class_installer.php on line 791

Well the first error looked like you probably didn't upload all the files before installing. About this error, well... look in the FAQ on the first post, this one's been covered.

I dunno why it's still referring to phrasetypeid anywhere at all; can you describe what you were trying to do? The error by itself doesn't help me much.

There's a reason I provide so many warnings about backing up your site before installing this.

Regarding what to do now, you could try turning off the plugin system in vBulletin and working from there. Delete files, uninstall plugins, etc.

Is there a reason why sometimes a mail is coming 1000 times? i mean i have noticed it once when i 1st installed the mod and 1 test mail that i had sent it with attachment came to VBMS 1000 times and eventually hunged the forum..
This huppened again yesterday and i and some other users got the same... a mail 1000 times.
I saw the error logs of vbulletin (not the VBMS logs) and i noticed that VBMS has trouble to attach the attachment of the e-mail to the Vbulletin database. I dont know why this is huppening but its a bit of a problem cause i dont know when it will hit again.
Is there anything i can do? or is there a hidden option that will put the attachments in the disk and not in the VB database? or maybe is there a limit somewhere that i reach it and this is huppening?

Another 1 question... does anyone knows the variable of VBMS that i need to put in CMPS to see in Navbar the new incoming box?

Thx in advance
