In that case, this particular version of the script will not work. If I get some time, I might build the pop3 version of this script. Enough people have expresssed interest in a very good email to blog script that I might be persuaded. :) Then you do not have the IMAP functions on your server.

I will try my best to change the hack to a new hack, but hey...i am no god. Maybe you already have this hack. Hi there,

Find this line in the script: $mailserver = "{".$mailserver_url.":".$mailserver_port."/pop3/notls}"; and remove the /notls so the line looks like: $mailserver = "{".$mailserver_url.":".$mailserver_port."/pop3}"; Please let me know if that works. If this script breaks but the other one works, try this. Find this line in the script:

Please let me know if that works.

I can't seem to make it work. It gives me "error opening mailbox". the wp-mail.php script "works", so i peeked inside both of them, and found that this one uses <blockquote> if (!($mbox = imap_open ("$mailserver", "$mailserver_login", "$mailserver_pass"))) die ("error opening mailbox"); </blockquote> to access the pop server, whereas the wp-mail.php seems to use this <blockquote> if(!$pop3->connect($mailserver_url, $mailserver_port)) { echo "Ooops $pop3->ERROR <br />\n"; exit; } </blockquote> Am I missing something obvious? Is it totally unrelated to either of these issues? Thanks :) hmm… I can’t seem to make it work.

I got the "error opening mailbox" error. I tried entering the $mailserver_* variables directly and it managed to get pass imap_open() (tested by printing out imap_num_msg($mbox) and it showed the exact messages as in my inbox), but it didn't post the message. The same goes for moblog/b2mail though. Any ideas? Hi.
