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

He had previous setup for usergroup 2 to have this forum as a subscribed forum. Then used the script to update everyones subscriptions. Then down the road decided to change what users were in control of that forum. Meanwhile all the people in usergroup 2 continued to get the emails as they had already had their subscriptions setup In the next version I'll try to work up a solution for this. Maybe an admin clear all subscriptions for a forum or something like that. |

Same thing for me. If the emails are received in my outlook account at work, fine no problem, replying from there is fine too.
For some reason gmail doesn't parse the html in the emails and just dumps the html out on the page leaving the user to sort through the mess to find the content. Also, when I reply from my gmail account I receive a reply from the forum telling me I don't have permission to post. This is a complete kicker because the gmail account is the email address I use for my forum admin account and the outlook one is the one I was using for my registered user testing, when I reply from my outlook account at work it gets added to the forum no prob. I'm guessing that the problem here is gmail but I wouldn't have a clue where to start... I also noticed that for some reason, although everything is setup identically and should be working fine, this hack is only working in one forum despite being enabled in four of them. Mike |

First, thanks for a great hack!
Now I have a really silly question that I hope you guys can help me with. I am going to install this hack and got caught up on one piece. In the instructions it says- create a new mail box on your server. I'm not quite sure what to do with this bit. Let me break down my setup for you. I have vBulletin running on a server outside of my organization. And I have an exchange server in-house that handles all of our email. And our domain is handled by yet another server. I would like to setup email integration for several different forums that we have running off of this one vBulletin install. If you could please tell me what mailbox (do I need a separate mailboxes for each forum?) I need to setup and how I go about all of this I would really appreciate it. Sorry for being such a novice! Thanks, A |

Yes, seperate mailboxes for each and every sub-forum.
Create a mailbox like you would if you had a new employee who needed a new email address. |

Hi Cyricx, will this also include text from Private Messages if the member has "Receive email notification when receiving a new private message" turned on?

Chris any feedback as to why 2.2 failed to import mail for us?
We've had to go back to 2.1 to get it to function and as you know that has the SQL bug still in there..... Desperate to get that fixed but until we can find out whay it fails to import we can not go back to 2.2. |
