i run a linux server how do i enable this or is it okay to proceed with out it???

and also i get this error

The following phrases exist and may result in alternate text being displayed in vBMS pages: method, warning, and warning

You can ignore the second warning. The first one means that the IMAP libraries are not installed in PHP, and so PHP cannot access mail accounts. To enable it, edit php.ini and uncomment the line "extension=php_imap.dll", then restart your web server.

No, this is strictly internal.

Seems to send ok but not receive !

The mail account that vBMS checks needs to be the "catch-all" mail account on your server. That means you need to set it up on your web host so that any mail sent to arghsiblah@yoursite.com (really, any address that doesn't exist) will forward to vbms@yoursite.com (or whatever your catch-all account is), and then have vbms check the vbms@yoursite.com address for any incoming mail. I can't give you directions for how to do this, it's different with every web host. Then, if it still doesn't receive mail, first check the catch-all account to see if it's actually receiving mails, then check the "Mail Checking Logs" in the ACP to see if vBMS is picking up the ones that are coming in. You should be able to figure out where the problem is occurring in there.

Very possibly; I haven't gotten a chance to take the time to look at what it does to the server load. However, by not giving POP3 access (for Outlook EXpress, etc.), you're keeping your users on your site more rather than letting them be freeloading off of you.
