vBulletin Mail System
Finally, for vBulletin 3.6, there is a port from filburt1's original hack. For those of you who aren't aware, he essentially declared it open source, and it's been a bit of a wait for someone to fix it up... I've wanted it for my site, too, so I finally sat down and just did it. What is this? The vBulletin Mail System is a way to give your users webmail access from your site. They can have a name@yourwebsite.com address, send and receive emails and attachments, etc. Options such as mailbox quotas, limits on numbers/types of attachments, a message trailer ("Free mail at yourwebsite.com!") at the end of each message, etc. are all available as well. Please note: this is a pre-final version. As far as I have seen, it is working so far for me, but I have not tested it completely and thoroughly and it's very likely there'll be a number of bugs popping up. However, I have successfully been able to install this on a clean board, exchange emails regularly (including attachments), go through all the basic options/etc. without any errors popping up, so it should be fine. Still, make sure you back up your database before installing this, just due to the nature of its "beta"-ness. To install: upload all files from the "upload" directory to your server in the proper directories. Then, navigate to admincp/vbms_install.php on your server and run the installer. It will make several template additions. If your navbar or header templates hav been modified, it will not be able to do it automatically, and you'll have to add these edits yourself. In template navbar, find: Code:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td> Code:
<if condition="$show['popups']"> <td class="vbmenu_control" id="navbar_vbms"> <a href="vbms.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[email]</a> <if condition="$vbms_newmessages['newcount'] > 0"> <span style="font-weight: normal; padding: 1px 1px 1px 2px; margin: 0px 3px 0px 2px; border: 1px inset" class="alt1"> <phrase 1="$vbms_newmessages[newcount]">$vbphrase[x_new]</phrase> </span> </if> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- vbmenu_register("navbar_vbms"); // --> </script> </td> <else /> <td class="vbmenu_control" id="navbar_vbms"> <a href="vbms.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[email]</a> <if condition="$vbms_newmessages['newcount'] > 0"> <span style="font-weight: normal; padding: 1px 1px 1px 2px; margin: 0px 3px 0px 2px; border: 1px inset" class="alt1"> <phrase 1="$vbms_newmessages[newcount]">$vbphrase[x_new]</phrase> </span> </if> </td> </if> Code:
<!-- / header quick search form --> </if> <if condition="$show['member']"> Code:
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_vbms_menu" style="display: none"> <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0"> <tr><td class="thead">vBulletin Mail System</td></tr> <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="vbms.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[navbar_inbox]</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="vbms_new.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[navbar_write_message]</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="vbms_ab.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[navbar_address_book]</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="vbms_folders.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[navbar_folders]</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="vbms_filters.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[navbar_filters]</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="vbms_options.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[navbar_options]</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="faq.php?$session[sessionurl]faq=faq_vbms">$vbphrase[navbar_help]</a></td></tr> </table> </div> Feel free to post with any bugs or questions you find, etc. I'm trying to get this working again thoroughly, for all of us.

It really amazes me how people don't take the time to read. I have this hack installed on a live site with no problems. And yes, I had problems with the install. How did I fix them? I read everything from page 1 and tried a few of the fixes offered up by other members until I got one that worked for me.
As much as I would like to see this get a full release, I have my doubts that it will happen... But, I just deal with the parts I can't offer my members and still offer them free e-mail... They are happy, I am happy... Too many people expect a million dollar mod for free and complain when they don't get it.... Yet, they still run Windows and pay for it.... Thanks to everyone that has worked on this project to make it functional enough to at least send and receive e-mail. And for the effort of all the coders that made their own little fixes then posted them here for everyone.... |

Not to break or annoy anyone..why not go with socketmail for an email service that can use vb as well

Does socketmail support vb 3.6 or 3.7?? I only saw older vb support on their site...

yeah SM supports it now. Ask support (presales)
Regards PS- vbms is great...but its development is too slow. Thats the problem..If Vbms started developing, having its own forum, member base which added its own plugins for email..I guarantee it would rock..but the fact is the development is too slow and theres not enough features that would drive you use to use the vbms... If Krofh (coder) started pushing the development further and a dedicated forum or site for it..it might just push off...but right now it looks too unappealing to me. |

Anything using a catch all account is a bad idea. I just uninstalled this hack because every day the catch all account was being clogged with 20,000 ++ undeliverable emails
