Mmm... the attachment viewer is not working as well... the attachment works - an attached file is attached properly, and is sent properly. When you click to view it, something weird happens - you're right... I will look into it when I get home. Doesn't affect the functionality of the email functions though.

Virus protection... good idea. :) Good for removing spam before you download it onto your computer too.

Weird.

Like I said, doesn't happen to me.

Make sure you download the LATEST version of email.php - just in case.

The code is done so that if the attachment field is left blank, the whole attachment functions is not called. If this is called without an attachment, you get the error you are getting (I got the same error beta testing the code on my own forums). But I've fixed it.

Make sure you have the latest version. Since you are a coder, check your code - make sure the attachment functions are not called if the attachment field is empty.

When a user includes an email in their message to reply to, and you click it, you get;
The URL/email.php was not found on this server message.

Also, i noticed, one of your table bgcolor="{ tableheadtextcolor }"
Which results in the message ..... From area displaying black, or whatever your tableheadtextcolor is set to.

Fixed the color issue. :)

As for the directory path problem - make sure you are using the latest EMAIL.php with the $bburl fix. :) It works.

Erwin, I posted a message a few back about when logging in to a server which requires either a username@, or a pop-server.

This is appears in the from message:
admin@xxxx.com@mail.xxx.com or
username@pop-server.xxxx.com

Fixed Erwin. Where you had if ($userfile) I had to put if ($userfile!="none")

That solved my problems. For some reason, the value of an empty userfile was coming through as none.

You were using my first uploaded email.php :) - I no longer use the "none" variable.

Mmm... just change the From: field to the real email address when replying or composing. :) That's why I made that field editable.

I downloaded it after you said you had updated it. The colors had been fixed, but I still had problems. I cleared my browser cache too. The weird thing is, I couldn't find the word none in the code.

No matter. It's fixed now and if anybody else runs into the same problem, a possible solution is documented. :)

Hi Erwin,

I get an error message :(

any advice ?

thanks,
Schorsch

Weird, because the original email.php I used "none" as the default attachment value... then changed my mind. :)

Wrong or unknown username, host server or password would do that.

how do i view hotmail is it like this

Username: xxx
Server: hotmail.com
Password: xxx

is that right

Hotmail isn't a POP3 server. It is a different format entirely and probably will not work with this script.

I want to be able to check my HotMail account, what do I do?

With this hack, you can check your HotMail messages but you have to pay a fee to Hotmail in order to have access. HotMail offers POP access on a for-fee basis. This is something new and that I've just discovered (in the past this was not the case). If you have registered for this premium service, you should have received detailed information regarding server settings.

I want to be able to check my Yahoo Mail, what do I do?

Use the following information to setup your Yahoo account:

User name: <Your Yahoo user name (without the @yahoo.com part)
Mail (POP3) Server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
Password: <Your Yahoo Password>

Pop3 is a paid service from yahoo.com now too.

Really? Well, there you go... times have changed since I last used them... my apologies... my hack still works for both Hotmail and Yahoo... but you need POP access to them... sounds like you have to pay now... in the good old days it was all free...

is there any template thing you could make for it , Like so I could add some text link or colors or anything great hack by the way!

just wondering in outlook i can still get my hotmail free

If so, what you do msimplay, is to get the settings from Outlook Express, and try it with this hack.

I purposely made this hack non-template based to make it easy to install - just upload and use. So I won't be making a template-based version.

how can you restrict this to certain usergroups? ie donators

Instructions on how to do this has always been in my first post. :) Read it carefully.

That fix worked for me. i just downloaded the latest file, and ($userfile) was still there. Changing it to ($userfile!="none") fixed the errors I was getting.

Boofo, you get this working yet?

Okay, I've updated the email.php file:

I now use this:

That would work for BOTH types of servers - those that parse the $userfile to "" and those that parse it to "none". :)

For those with the above problems, clear your browser cache, download and upload the new email.php file, and try it. Should work. :)

No. Apparently my ISP doesn't have IMAP installed. They are using 4.3.1 but must not be using the IMAP. All I get are the errors. Slynderdale said something about a way around that. Can you do that Erwin?

fsocketopen can also be used to connect to a pop3 and IMAP server but theres no predfeined mail functions like with IMAP so you have to code the parts that connect to the server, get the mail, get the folders, parse the data, display the data, and abilities like delete, new and old mail and so on, and also to close the connection.

As you can see, using fsocket is alot more work but is more compatible with servers.

When I add an attachment to an outgoing message, with text in the message body, when it arrives, the text is not in the email, just the attachment. If I send just text, it's fine.

Ok, I copied email.php
http://www.softnews.ro/forum/email.php

I'm using vBulletin 2.2.8. The hack is working, but not very good. i cannot conect to any pop3 or imap mail server !

I get "Array" to username :(

See the atachment plz

You get that error when you use the "none" method.

Download and upload the latest email.php - that should fix this problem.

Make sure you have IMAP compiled with your PHP.

great hack! Can't wait to get future versions! Pressing Install NOW! :)

Is there anyway a help guide can be added...maybe just a one page link that describes to users that they can add the username and host server address to their profile fields and also describe them to people who have no idea what they are?

downloaded the latest version and
it works like a charm! thanks!

just did the Add-on and it works great!

I have the latest email.php. It isn't any error I see, but the attachment only shows (the link). iIf text is included in the message, it doesn't show. When no attachment is included, the text in the message shows fine.

I have IMAP.

My phpinfo.php say:

--with-imap-ssl=/tmp/pine4.44/imap/c-client' '--with-imap=/tmp/pine4.44/imap/c-client'

So.. why doesnt work ?

I cannot login to any pop3 server. I tried 3 or 4 accounts (pop3 and/or IMAP)

just tested again, not working.
