This along with your FTP hack, have to be two of the best hacks around !

Works perfect! :)

Thanks
Kars

Can't wait to install this.

Very useful.

Thanks

One weird thing - I dont use POP accounts very often, but by being able to edit the "from" box, you could play some nasty tricks on unsuspecting people...

Not that I care ;)

http://www.site.com/email.php?CMD=cookie Call to undefined function: imap_open() rror :( Looks great D.r. Erwin :) I hope this will be fixed.

check the second page for the solution

this is fantastic just what i wanted :D
just clicking install now :D is there a way to add html server support as in outlook ?

clicks install :D
support for multiple accounts ?

Nope, i've cleared hystorie, cash, temp files, downloaded the new email.php and linked direct from the forum and the same error. :(

... you did put the file in your /forum directory right?

yes i did sir :)

I got a flash of warnings about unable to open files when I sent an email. They went by too fast for me to be able to capture them. Anybody else seeing this problem?

Amy

Took some doing, but I finally snagged a screenshot of the warnings. The emails that I send come through bad as well. I'll get a shot of them in a sec.

Just off the top of my head, it looks like that might be because I didn't attach a file?

Erwin, I would advise moving this to beta for now. Otherwise you are going to get a ton of newbies with problems.

It seems to be like a T-Shirt, where "one size fits all". Although people are installing the same file, we are all getting different errors (or there are a few of us who have it working).

Beta sounds good to me

and yet the same error as other people got....


Warning: Couldn't open stream {mail.xxxxxxxx.com:110/pop3}INBOX in /xxxx/xxxxx/xxxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxxx/forum/email.php on line 601

username: xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.com
server: mail.xxxxxxxx.com
password: xxxxxxxx

>>>using pop3

Well I guess I am one of the unlucky ones. Because I put it in my forum directory and now I get the same error as the others.
==========
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imap_open() in /home/inreview/www/email.php on line 601

I have put in the username

My username :)
Server pop.xxxxxxxxxx.nl
Password xxxxxxxxxxxxx

but i get this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imap_open() in /home/axenkixl/public_html/forum/email.php on line 601

can't you make something if you don't put the correct something else shows up?

I'm sure i put the right things do you know why this happens :)

thnx

Does this keep the email on my server?

This requires you to have imap support compiled with php, you might have pop3 access to your site but it also might not have imap support as well. So if you get a error like imap_open undefined function, then you dont have imap support.

Theres a way to access a pop3 mail server without using Imap compiled with php using fsocket, I use a online mail script that connects to pop3 using fsocket instead of imap because I dont have Imap compiled.

For more ifo on imap go here:

works perfect for me.

nice job erwin.

Oh my god - this is the hack i've been waiting for :p

Sweet as Erwin - just in time to integrate with my email server - nice one :cool:.

ok, installed new file. Working fine. Question about the attachments. I assume this will not show inline attachments. Sent a test message with a small image. The attachment shows in the email as a link, when clicked will not display, Get the red X, and sometimes when clicked, it wants to download the whole page.

Clicking delete message gives me this;

after logging in to a mail server which requires username@.com, it shows this,
admin@macfora.com@macfora.com and when relpying to a message that shows in the from field.

Same with a server which requires pop-server, when replying to a message, the pop-server must be removed in the from field.

Installed - great idea...

I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imap_open() in ..../forums/upload/email.php on line 601

Installed!!! Absolutely no problems sending recieving or anything......sorry guys :ermm:

Am using it as a perk for anyone who has an email account with us. Good job! :)

Ahhh, the Doc is indeed a man of many hats :)
Installed, and working great! Could this be considered "low tech virus protection" because it is web based?

Thanks Again,
Jbear6

one of the best hacks ever and also one of the easiest
i wonder if they could add a proper Outlook type pop3 email interface built into the pm system would be great to Vb3
i will post this at Vbulletin.com aswell see what they think :D

To prevent abuse, I would like to add an IP address of the sender to the header of the email being sent. What variable do I need to make that happen?

Smoothie, how did you get it working? ;)

Ha! I just figured it out.

Sorry, I'm a Perl geek, not a PHP geek. :D

If you want to add it to your email system, find

and add below it....

I hope Erwin doesn't mind. I also did not know what the standard for IP addresses in email headers was, so I just used REMOTEIP.

BTW, great hack!

Update:

Just realized what Slynderdale posted as well:

To use this hack these are the requirements:

Requirements:

1) This hack requires PHP 4 or higher on your server.

2) This hack requires you to have IMAP support compiled with PHP on your server. If you get a error like "imap_open undefined function", then you dont have IMAP support. Sorry!


If you don't have IMAP compiled, then this hack won't work, as you the IMAP function will cause an error. I apologize for this.

Delete works fine for me. I can delete a single or multiple emails on the INBOX screen, or delete the email I am reading - no error messages.

You may be trying to delete a message that was already deleted - hence the bad message number error.

Doesn't happen to me.

Make sure you don't try to put a non-existent attachment in. Leave the attachment text box blank and emails are send normally. Otherwise, attachments work.

Make sure you have the latest PHP version, and IMAP is compiled.

As for making this beta - it is not beta. It works, just not for all servers. :)

No, the emails remain on your mail server, not on your forum server.

Didn't touch the attachment field at all. Put in subject "test" and message "test" and hit send.

As you can see from my phpinfo , Imap is enabled and the version is 4.1.1.
