Email Integration (New threads/replies by email)
Developer Last Online: Dec 2011
This mod is based off of the Mail Reply modification by Colin F to which I have obtained permission to rewrite and release. This modification allows you to mimic email lists such as yahoo groups through your forums! After installing this modification you will have new settings in your forum manager where for each forum you can enable this modification and setup a separate email address to use for each forum that you have this enabled for. Just like how there is a separate email address for each yahoo group. After doing so, members can subscribe to each forum that this mod is enabled for to receive notifications for new threads and replies. Any posts in that forum, will be sent to them via email. (Example email attached below). The users can then reply to that email (which will then be processed and posted to the forums through the cron job that runs every 10 minutes), or they can send a new email to the email address and a brand new thread will be created! Essentially mimicing an email list! Suddenly those users that hate forums, can still be dragged into the conversations and help keep the forum's activity level up! BUGS! These are the known bugs to date:
These are the items that are not currently supported:

Huge thanks also goes to the many individuals that have helped test various incarnations of this mod. MAD PROPS TO: cgmckeever for a great quoting regex for the old format, and all the mods at www.4winmobile.com for helping test version 2.4 prior to release!! You guys rock! Please feel free to donate to my continued work on this modification!! It let's me spend more time on it! Make a Donation! Version 2.6 will work with both 3.6.8 and 3.7! The #.X versions are the solid tested versions. The #.X.X versions are the beta versions. New features and bug fixes will be worked in there and then when I have a solid version it'll be released as the next #.X Thank you!! ~ Cyricx Supporters / CoAuthors Show Your Support

Well a donation sent from me to help spur the coding on!
Will be superb to get this working. I only hope it suports both forum and usergroup permissions as I'd only be wanting to use it on some forums and for some usergroups. Plus I hope that posting via email will be easy to do! Good luck with the development! |

Well this looks exactly like what im needing for our site as well. I would like to move our group from yahoo over to our forum site and this would be absolutely ideal. Looking forward to a full release.
Thanks for the hard work. Raven |

Yes it means that all known integrity issues are solved.
But PLEASE backup your database as always before doing any modifications. I've had a very limited number of beta testers. So I would suggest installing it, sending a few emails yourself, replying etc and playing around with it before you let your users know it's up and going |

How does this system know who to set as the poster of new threads and replies? Does it match username to the sender's email address?
