Hey there,

When I go to <myforum>/email.php I get :
I have no idea what I have done wrong , since there is nothing to do wrong :ermm: .
How can I fix this?

Thanks

Oops , fixed it already , it didnt have permitions :nervous: .
Thanks anyway :D

nice hack!!!

the text is hard to read on my gray background tho

where would be to code to change font color?

Great hack. Couple of questions though before I release it to my forum (and please excuse me if they sound dumb and/or they've been asked already):

1) How secure is this? To date I've given out about twenty email accounts to users from my site and nearly all of them access their webmail through a secure connection.

2) How much of a server resource hog is this? I have about 1,200+ emails in my inbox (I'm very slow to respond to emails:P) When I try logging in, it gets to the "now logging you in" page and then basically times-out. I have to hit refresh in order to actually see my inbox. I've tried using another email account and it still takes a while before I actually see some emails.

3) Is there any sort of pagination available?

Thanks for this great hack

Installed and all working fine

1- Just if some one inter any wrong username or server name, coming this erroe and also if login me out affter sometime




2- and, how to chang font size please ?

Thanks again for help

Worked Perfect for me as well. :)

Worked fine for me except for the select all check box....Java error?

My question is I have installed this and its great also added the link in the navbar is there anyway to only make the navbar link show for certain usergroups.

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == X"> $templatevar </if>

Still having trouble with no return sender with this hack.

While I'm composing the message, my user name shows up in the "From" box, like the first picture attached.

However, when I send it to my test gmail account, the message I receive is from "Unknown Sender", and the "Reply To" box is empty, like in pictures 2 and 3.

If I change to this...:
...the hack works perfectly and my user name shows up in the test email "From" box, and is also in the "Reply To" box.
Which is perfect, except I do not want the other users to have the ability to change the "From" to an admin or mods nick and pass off the email as coming from someoene else.
I also do not want the users to have email being sent from "Unknown Sender" though.

If I switch it back to "0" however, I again get an email from "Unknown Sender" and the "Reply To" box is empty.

I know I can also change the third option to have myself as the only one allowed to change the "From" variable, however again, I don't want the other user's having emails sent from "Unknown Sender's".

Anybody have any ideas?
I really like this hack, but need to configure it properly.

hmm .. I'd love to get this working on my forums ..

One problem though .. When trying to get into my own mailbox, which is based on the same server, I keep getting this error ..

Now .. I know I'm using the right login info as it works when using http://www.mail2web.com/ ..

I've seen others have the same problem .. could it be because the mailbox is on the same server but using a different domain to what the email.php file is using?

Perhaps there is a security setting on the server to stop things jumping from one domain to another?

If anyone could shed some light on this it would be appreciated .. ta :)

Your port 110 is blocked by your firewall? IMAP is not compiled in your PHP?

Hi Erwin .. :)

This is what I've got in my PHP info ..

IMAP c-Client Version 2001
SSL Support enabled
Kerberos Support enabled

So it looks like I've got IMAP enabled ..

Next thing to look at is the firewall .. Although if I can get to my mailbox via a different server, wouldn't that then be the same for my own server getting to a different domain on the same box?

Cool - works perfectly on www.swanseasucks.com

Ok I cant get this to work lol
when i fill out the feilds and click log in it takes me to http://mysite.com/fourm/email.php?CMD=cookie
The page cannot be found
any ideals

BUMP?

This happens on some servers - I can't explain it to be honest.

I have been reviewing his issue since he is a friend of mine havent tested it yet but my answer is in the filename he has the email.php in his folder as Email.php could this be the problem?

Yes, on linux filenames are case sensitive.

Im a dummy the e in email was capitol lol

Erwin is there anywhere you can suggest on how to install IMAP for dummies? I'd like for my users to have email access via my forums but it seems I don't have IMAP installed.

Erwin this is VERY nice. Thank you. I installed it with relatively no problems. My only suggestion or request is if you could illustrate a good way to integrate it into vB3. I could likely jury rig a link on the nav bar, or create a forum link to goto it... both are messy option in my book.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to add a link in UserCP? Just the php file change or is it a template that needs to be adjusted?

Once again Erwin great MOD!! :D

It's a template edit. In your templates find the one called "USERCP_SHELL"

If you want it in the 'Settings & Options' category, in that template find:
and below it add:
i believe thats the correct URL

You are correct Sir! I meddled with the code a bit but thank you very much with the pointer. Great MOD! Thankfully I my webhosting service had PHP set up to make this a smooth install. ;)

Hmmm... I get a blank page. When I look at the source all I see is

I've got this exact problem as well... Anyone know of any solutions?

Hello Erwin,

very cool addition, th@nks ....

How can i make a check for new mails automatically in a refresh meta tag ? So that the Mail System checks every 5 Minutes for new Mails automatically.

Still have a Problem, if i read Mails, that they are layered with the Background Image, the Box is missing, where the content of the Mail could be read.

see attached screenshot

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imap_open() in /home/pxtek00/public_html/forum/email.php on line 695

This happens after i input all my infos on the fields and selected POP3

how to fix

:sigh: Read my first post - you do not have imap compiled in php.

Ok now i have some serious problems ...i tried it with 3 different mail "providers"

First one is working: T-Online (German provider):

I can log in with the data, but when i want to send an email i get the following error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mail() in /home/htdocs/web1/html/board/email.php on line 686

Don´t know how to solve it.

2nd provider: google mail.
i used the data which i regulary use on gmail.com.
Pop Server: pop.gmail.com

It takes ages to connect and after that it says that my login information is wrong.

3rd provider....i have a Linux Root Server..so the Pop Data is something like that:
pop.mydomain.net
In Outlook its working like a charm. When i use the same login information it says after a short while that i cannot login with the specified data. This is when i try it with Firefox......when i use Opera is see the error message for a short time:

Warning: imap_open(): Couldn´t open stream pop.mydomain.de/110/pop3 Inbox in/email.php on line 695

i hope you can help me out with that.

Works 100% perfect. EXACTLY what I wanted. Awesome job! Also it's easy to modify too ;)

This hacks works fine for some servers, not for others - it's to do with the different OS installs and firewall settings. All I can say is that it works for most servers. :)

I'd find it helpful to add the following features. If you coulduseonedomain to login and authenticate for checking mail, but be abletosetanother domain to actually put on the headers for the emailaddressandthe one listed at the top of every page as the address.

The way my web hosting is setup, I have one main domain thatalltheemail accounts are setup under. The email names from theotherdomainsare just aliases.


i.e. use User1@domain1.com for authentication, but use User1@domain2.com in the header information, 'from' address, listed at the top of the page, etc.

thank you worked perfectly

Hi. This hack looks awesome, and I decided I'd use it to set up IMAP accounts for my moderators. I created profile fields that could only be access from the admincp to hold the username and password, and I was forcing it to use our server for mail. They'd get no permission if I hadn't entered a username and password for them. If they had, all they'd see is the log-in button. (If I get this working I'll probably make it auto-login, but I won't worry about that until later)

Didn't work. I always get the "Unable to login with the information you entered. Please login again." error.

Here's the section of the code I've modified.

When I test them same login and server in thunderbird, it works fine.

What did I do wrong? Does it seem like it's just my server?

EDIT: Nevermind, I've got it working.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imap_open() in /home/b3playg/public_html/forums/email.php on line 695

Read the first post. You don't have IMAP compiled in PHP.

is there an addon or way to integrate de "new post" or "new thread" editor for this? So we can give HTML format to emails :D

thanx in advance

Not at the moment. It can be done but I don't have time to do this.
