In the admincp under Email Integration.

Most common errors:

Hostname: try the IP, localhost, or mail.yourdomain.com
username: try just the username or username@yourdomain.com
password: case sensitive

Hi Cyricx,

Thanks for the prompt reply.


I finally found the script:

http://www.joshandfriends.com.au/for...gs.php?do=test

I ran it with my settings for the forum. It returned exactly the parameters i am using!

I tried setting up a mailbox in Outlook with the same parameters and it correctly retrieved the emails.

I have re-tried to reply via email integration and run the cron job manually from the Scheduled Tasks.


Any other ideas as to why it is not bringing back emails?

I'd have to see your forum manager settings to confirm what's wrong.

Perhaps the mailbox name is changed from INBOX to something else?

Hello again,

I still have errors even though I set GMAIL to POP3 and IMAP enabled:

Email Integration

Warning: imap_open() [function.imap-open]: Couldn't open stream {pop.gmail.com:995/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX in [path]/includes/cron/emailintegration.php on line 98

Done

Can we not use GMAIL with this integration as you mention?
thanks

I read up on this, others are having similar problems with gmail can you please test this with php 5.25?

Do i need port 995 open from my end? I seem to have IMAP functions installed.

This mod looks very interesting, but I have a question:

Does this do any checking to verify someone posting a new thread or reply is a verified member? Or can any spammer who gets a hold of one of the thread email addresses post into it?

Thanks,
Stephen

The problem, from all of my testing (running 5.26 on my server) relies with the settings in gmail. I've been able to duplicate no issues with setting up gmail per the second post :(

It has two different ways it verifies who you are. 1) It directly checks the email address the email is sent from to the email of a registered user to determine who the user is. Or you can turn on "strict" email checking, it which it rebuilds the email address using the username of the email address the email is sent from with the domain the email is sent from.

Hello,
actually it does work now the port 995 of the server has to be open in order to do IMAP/POP SSL secure transfers.

just wanted to let you know.

thanks again will test more.

I am trying to "mirror" a mailing list that I belong to to my vbulletin forum but am having some issues.

None of the users on the mailing list are users on my forum (and I want to keep it that way). I simply want a way to collect all of the messages on the mailing list and have them posted to my forum so I can easily read and search them. Is this possible? The problem I ran into is this:

1. I have a Gmail account that the mailing list messages go to. I setup EI to connect to that Gmail account so that messages are archived after downloading
2. The first time I ran the cron job it gave me an error saying no users with the gmail account that I use could be found. So I changed my email address on my forum to the gmail account. Then, when I ran the cron job all of the messages in the gmail account are removed from the inbox and archived. So far so good. But, when I then go to my forum none of the messages show up there.
3. To troubleshoot, if I send an email to myself using the gmail account, that message is correctly posted to the forum.

So it looks like it is ignoring any message that do not originate from my gmail account. Is this how it is supposed to work or do I have I have an icorrect setting somewhere?

More distressing is that I received error emails to my admin forum email address *from* the listserv saying "Your message dated Fri, 08 Aug 2008 20:03:54 -0600 with subject "Error:Invalid User Email" has been submitted to the moderator of the listserv". How does EI even know what the listserv email address is?? I really don't want *any* messages going to the listserv.

That's how it's supposed to work, otherwise anyone could post to your forum if they know the EI mailbox address.
