don't most out of office replies have that in the subject? It can only be so perfect. Maybe put in an out of office setting for users to check/use when they are out of office. You can only do so much without human intervention.

all cronjobs running usally as planned (i have some little traffic to ensure this)

the emailed posts with attachments are show the postbit_attachment or postbit_thumb templates
but the graphics are not shown ...

this remains so ... even after days .. nothing changed ...

if i start maintance (admincp) and let the board create the thumbs its apears.

storage is DB driven ... (but i can switch this if needed)

Probably to early to answer; but what's the likelihood that this email integration will work with 3.7 right out of the box?

(still running this as a trial in 3.6.7....but want to release it forum-wide when upgrading to 3.7....)

Is there any way to make Email Integration check an IMAP mail box but not delete messages it finds? I'd prefer to keep a record of all messages received and at present it is deleting the messages whenever the cron job runs.

Enhancement suggestion - it might be nice to have a configuration option to transfer messages from INBOX to another box after they have been processed (perhaps even two boxes, one for accepted another for rejected)

Thanks

I am a coder, but haven't found a way to get this to work yet... cyricx? any insight on how to fix this yet?

Cyricx? This is the same problem that i'm having with auto subscriptions... haven't found a way to fix it yet.. any insight from you?

Regarding the problem with "Auto Subscriptions", if you know enough about working 'under the hood', here's a hack to get this working:

The problem when trying to load auto subscriptions is:
Invalid SQL:
SELECT title FROM forum WHERE forumid =;

Here's what I did to 'fix' it so it would at least function...

1) Open up file admin_ei.php in the admincp folder.
Around line 52, it reads: $getforuminfo = $db->query_read("SELECT title FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum WHERE forumid = $forumupdateid");
-- just hardcode (i.e. replace) $forumupdateid with the actual # of the forum you want to subscribe all users to (I had 7 different forums, so had to do one at a time:( )

2) You also need to update the table 'usergroup' in your forum's dB... if you have phpmyadmin you can use this query to pull up the info you need to update:

SELECT usergroupid, title, ei_forumid
FROM usergroup
WHERE ei_auto =1
ORDER BY `usergroupid`

Find the row that has 'registered users' in the title column Now change the value for 'ei_forumid' in that row to be the forum # that you are subscribing all users to (same # as in the first step)....

Now you should be able to subscribe all users by going to admincp and clicking "Auto Subscription" again, but will still need to repeat steps 1 and 2 until you get all forums subscribed...:cool:

Talked to GoDaddy today about getting IMAP enabled. Not gonna happen unless I start using a virtual dedicated server solution. Then supposedly, I would be able to configure the server myself so that IMAP is enabled. I really don't understand GoDaddy's rationale behind this policy.

I switched from GoDaddy to another hosting provider because of this. GoDaddy's problems are worse than just their lack of imap support in php. You cannot connect to their email servers from your shared hosting server at all. They block all network connections to their email servers from their own network. And they refuse to fix this. They claim it's "a limitation of the shared hosting environment" and push you to their VPS products. I had tried to code my own POP3 client to use this mod since their php server does not have IMAP support and then noticed that connections would simply fail. So there's no way for a GoDaddy shared hosting website to do any sort of automatic email processing, php or otherwise. PM me if you want a hosting recommendation. You're gonna have to leave GoDaddy shared hosting or at least use an email server other than GoDaddy's to use this mod.

Well, mod is installed and working beautifully with the exception of being able to post replies or new threads from email. Without a doubt, the ability to receive instant email notification (as well as daily/weekly digest mode) of ALL new posts and threads should be a part of the core vBulletin application.

Given that I convinced a client to transition to vBulletin so that we could use this mod and have Yahoo group forum functionality with an improved and more flexible interface, I am now in search of changing web hosts. If anyone has any recommendations, by all means PM and let me know.
