If you entered a valid POP or IMAP server address, then it could be that DNS is not working correctly on the hosting server. If this is the case, only your hosting provider can solve this.

Awesome plugin. I can send messages but I am having a problem with receiving messages.

It comes up with this message “cannot connect to host; error = php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known (errno = 0 )”.

This means your PHP installation doesn't support the mb_convert_encoding function, which is required to use the plugin. You could try to ask support from your hosting provider on this.

Hi, i successfully downloaded and installed this plugin. I am using WordPress’ latest version. However, when i activated it, it triggered an error and couldnt activate. What could the problem be?

The error was something like this:

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Required function “mb_convert_encoding” does not exist

Do you have a [hook] for adding widget to a page?

The widget is designed to work only on the backend.

Ability to save/archive incoming mail to forlders?

Mini Mail is intented as a simple e-mail client to quickly read/write e-mails from WordPress. For this reason it has limited functionality, so archiving is not possible, sorry. You’ll have to use another e-mail client for this.

I don’t see how this question is related to the Mini Mail Dashboard Widget. Can you explain in more detail what you want or what your problem is? The plugin just needs a mailbox to check, it doesn’t matter where it is.

Since most ADMINs have an email account on the very same hosted account used for the WP site is there not a simpler way to connect to your email client on the server ?

The plugin has no own mail storage, so there is no sent box.
A workaround is to use the option ‘BCC self‘.

Hey Marcel, nice plugin you have made. I need to display the “Sent Items” too, is there a way I can get this data from within your plugin?

By the way would you like to have it translated into Brazilian Portuguese?

Many thanks

Since you don’t know how to change this, you probably didn’t change this

If you are willing to send me your WordPress login info, I am willing to take a look what is going on. You can use the contact form for this.

I’m not sure what you mean. As admin I can edit all posts. How would I change the edit_post capability.

Could you please install the development version (follow the link in the changelog), enable debugging (a plugin option) and try again sending a message with attachment and post the debug info displayed in the dashboard widget here?

I just tested it with an image as attachment and it was received okay in g-mail. What type of attachment did you send? Image? Document? Maybe the mime type is incorrect/missing due to configuration issues on the hosting server. The PHP function mime_content_type is being used to determine the mime type. If this function isn't present application/octet-stream will be used. You can contact me through the contact form. I will reply and then you can try sending a message to me, so I can look into it.

The email was sent successfully but recipients did not receive the attachment. Tried to send it with both PHPmail and SMTP but still the attachment is not included.

In gmail the response i get is “Attachments may be unavailable.”

In Mail i get the following “This is a message in Mime Format. If you see this, your mail reader does not support this format.”

Was sending the e-mail with attachment successful?
Did you look into your spam folder?

Attachements are not working for me! Tried to send an attachement of 1MB to myself but i did not receive it. Any help?

Thanks.

Forget the previous question.

I can only think of one thing: does the WordPress account you use have edit_posts capability? Or did you change the capability required to use the plugin to something else? (a plugin option)

Is there a settings link on the plugin page?

By: Vickie

I have aready tried that. It does not show up in the dashboard or admin bar anymore. It is in the plugins page only and it shows it is activated. But that is the only place I see it and I have looked everywhere.
