Check if the host where you run the forum blocks socket connections from PHP scripts.
Some do that....

When did this happen?

Whooooops.... that $ slipped...

And yeah, I am definately interested in cosmetic enhacement :)

The webmail_homepage template may or may not look funny...I was starting to toy with changing the layout a bit for it...and the changes I made are quick and dirty....the img url is right in the template rather than making a variable for it or anything like that...I widened the error that appears when there are no messages to view to make it equal with the controls at the bottom and centered the title and the error message itself

Another couple of suggestions I came across for you...for the address book:

making it possible to group contacts into a mailing list....

Administrators being able to have a list of contacts AND a list of user account addresses to save a trip to the ACP

Other suggestion:

Ability to save a draft....something reasonable like 5 per user? or customizable per group?

@MThornback:
Cool, will look at the template changes :)

For the other things:
Mailinglist: yep, had thought of that as well - must see how to implement that best
Admin: You're talking about the eMails of all register users?
Save as draft: I want to implement support for folders - saving as a draft could be easily put in there then....

Mailing List....what I was thinking was being able to create a group...and have arrow buttons to move contacts into them and a copy contact button so it would like this in the contact list:

--Group Name
----Group Member
Contact

--Forum Staff
----Admin1
----SuperMod1
Jow Blow

Admin:
Yea, calling the username, real name & e-mail column from the user table

Save as draft: Cool :)


Another idea for you....

A Forum Junk mail list....let Admin's configure a list of junk accounts and domains...and maybe even have a "report" link that will give the link to Admin's to add to the list :)


I wish there was a user title for idea guy :p

Holy moly these features sound absolutely incredible. Go, Hellcat, go!

Did you try both SMTP authentications? Plain and Login?

try re-importing the product (overwrite: yes)...I find sometimes that if I overwrite....little glitches disappear on their own :) ....may or may not work :confused:

When you update the software, please consider to encrypt the email passwords that are stored in the database

This is a serious security concern.

Yes, that's something I want to implement ASAP.
However, since the passwords have to be accessible, there must be a decrypt function in the script - a hash would not work.
An admin who intentionally wants to get hold of the passwords could simply use the decrypt funtion to get them.

But during some chats on IM about this issue I got the following, I will definately build into one of the next updates (hopefully 1.0final):
Besides crypting login details in the database a user option to save the login details in a cookie on the local machine instead of saving them in the forum's database.

This (almost) eliminates the need to re-enter the login details everytime a user wants to use this, but also doesn't send it to anywhere else.
Only when the user uses another computer or the cookie gets deleted (on logout for instance) he has to re-enter the login details.

If the user trusts his admin(s) he can still let the login details be saved (in some way crypted to avoid "fly by" catching) in the forum's database to never have to enter them again.

Great! ;)
The wmail094rc4 updated fine & works great, Thanks!
hmm
