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...
[high]* Hellcat fixes
[/high]

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

Yea the cookie idea is just fine with me. I think just having the email address & server info in the settings is just fine. Having to type in your password everytime is not that big of a deal. And users can always store their password in the local pc cookies.

Just my 2 cent

Hi, I am very interested in this but is their anyway to give users their own email address which is their username@mydomain.com?

If so I am very interested

Thanks

It's on the planned features list.

AH SWEET! That would be really great man! :D

workssss

click install

Hmm. I seem to get an error everytime I try to send a message :-/

Double check your settings
make sure you typed in your email right.
name@google.com

mate, you are a damn legend... this hack is absolute marvel... I spend so much time on my forum and having to log into cpanel seperately was a pain in the bum... THANKS :D

Amazing that you did this from scratch.

any feature to add and admin pre-selected signature to all emails send by the system?

Like: Email send via or by FORUMNAME.TLD

Something like that could easiely be implemented....
Will put it on my ToDo :)

Any info on the next update?

I didn't much time for coding this week :(
But I have the next two :)

1.00 final is pretty near, should come within the next days.
I hope to find the cause for one or two remaining bugs, and like to implement the above mentioned option to store login details in a local cookie instead of the server and baybe some sort of (simple) encrytion of it.

Once that's done, I'll head straight to the new featues - already got some plans made up :)

nice :up: ;)

What will 1.00 have?

Not much more we hope, the idea of a final is to be bugfree as possible, not to be a release with lots of new features. ;)

Yep!
You got the point! :)

1.00 will hopefully be pretty "clean" of bugs.

But like said a few posts above, I already got plans laid out for some of the bigger new features (mainly the "provide eMail address to forum users" thing) and I got quite some time to do the coding the next two weeks.
So, an update with new features will not take too long as well :)

I really want to get this going, it's my biggest mod for vB so far and I want it to become huge :bunny:

hey mate, sorry if this has been covered, but I didn't wanna read 16 pages...

I loged in, and went to wmail.php and got a screen with no emails, so I clicked 'Get Mail' and they all appeared... that was strange... Am downloading an attachment and go back to the main wmail.php page, and am now getting this:
You have a total of -4 mails in your inbox,
that's 0 new mails since your last check.

and note, that with that above message, if I click 'Get Mail', or the link under that message to view the emails, there is nothing there

and i've done no changes since I last accessed, and can't seem to get my mail back :(

ok, it's come back, but it's tempremental... as far as I know theres nothing wrong with the email server...

it is a possible bug?

I'm aware of that "-4" error - it's some kind of error/interuption during communication with the POP3 server.
I didn't find the exact cause for so far since - like you just saw - it comes and goes randomly....

Excellent has anyone made a VB advance module yet?

could it have anything to do with the timeout setting in wMail? with how busy the actual server is?

What would you like to have in there?

Maybe so users could see if they have mail or not from the home page? I might look into doing something like this.

Hmm it seems I am the only one getting this error, right?

This shows up when I try to access wmail.php.

Hi,

see Attachment. ;)

@Hellcat - i think it is ready to be added to the Package. ;)

Any news on the release date?

/me nominates this for HoTM.

How do I nominate?
