Can anyone point me to a web page explaining how to install imap with php on a redhat box? My host is having difficulty with it and I'd like to point him in the right direction.

Thanks :)

(I can't believe I've come this close to have this hack working, only to be let down by my server, aahhhhhhhhhHH!!!!!!)

As far as I am concerned, no one in the right frame of mind would use something like this, or like hivemail, or any other website provided mail client as their primary email solution.

This is designed to simply add another layer of privacy to your existing mail, with the flexibility to change alias whenever you want. An example to use this system, would be to setup an alias, use it for a subscription to another site. Once you start getting bombarded with spam, you just change alias. Using your real email in that case would live you vulnerable to spams.

If someone lost his password, he would have to log in to read the "forgot your password?"-mail. But since he forgot it, he can't ... :confused:

One of the main reasons you should never set your vBMS address to your forum e-mail address.

er vica versa....

We had a couple users, after setting up their vBMS alias, go into their USERCP and change it to match. As you may already know, when you get an email at your VBMS email, it sends a notification to your Forums email to let you know. If your forums and VBMS mail are the same, it starts a cyclic buildup of emails which will eventually crash your database. Been there, done that. Since the webmaster (me) has a pop account on our domain, I entered @dodgeboard.com as a banned email in the Banning options, but selected "allow users to keep their banned IP/email", so that it would not ban the administrator. Then I just blanked out the couple users that had the @dodgeboard.com email addy in their profiles and instructed them to change it. Since @dodgeboard.com is now banned, they can't use it.

PHP needs to be recompiled with IMAP. Time to look for another host if he does not know how to do so.

I see now the problem. Nice system, but not what I am looking for. I thought about Hivemail a while ago and didn't bother doing anything about it. Glad I didn't.

Anyway, I wish everyone every success with this - great script for what it does, and I mean that. I am off to find another solution, dunno where yet :D

Cheers

Hivemail was great before it died...

I don't think there is another product out there that fully integrates with vBulletin, but good luck. Let us know if you find something of interest.

you could look into atmail

Yes, that or Scalix. Atmail is a few dollars though, but Scalix has a community edition....

Hi,

does this modification work with vBulletin 3.6.x (or is a version for 3.6.x available)?

Greets,
Florian
