They will give me the API if i ask them.

I don't think it is possible, because there don't seem to be an API for this service. Try one of the Betamax providers if you want cheap.

“malformed input” is not a message from the plugin, may from the Zend library or from the mail provider. Try formatting the e-mail address like this:

"First Last"

Hello,
when i try to send or replay an E-Mail i get the error message “malformed input”.
I only entered the recipient, the subject and the message “test”.
How wrong can that be?

Does anyone have the same problem?
Any help is very appreciated.

Thanks for your feedback! Mini Mail uses the Zend library for e-mail transport. As far as I know there is no option to ignore invalid SSL certficates. The number of messages displayed can already by limited by a settings. I want to keep the user interface as simple as possible, so no ajax previous or next. Mini mail is not meant as replacement for a real e-mail client.

i made a front end widget that tells when new mail is ready to be read. so i might send you the code for that, its pretty simple but only works for a single user so far. tips I would give people is to limit the number of messages to be displayed to 100 or less if they get out of memory errors – its alot to ask a script to retrieve information about many messages. An ajax message range buttons would be nice, say a “<>” etc to load messages within a range so that the entire inbox can still be transversed while keeping within script resource limits. I also think the mail library has problems with SSL if connecting to a domain without a valid SSL certificate so maybe this API has an option to ignore that and proceed with the mail server connection anyway.

To get SMS notifications for new e-mail, you should enable both the ‘Enable’ and ‘Notifications’ options (the first two) and there should be a valid ‘Schedule’ to check e-mail. Try this schedule (weekdays only):

+Monday -Sunday

If you have seen the messages on the dashboard already, no notifications will be send anymore.

An easy way to try is to enable ‘Debug’ and use the ‘Cron’ option from the dashboard, which simulates a background e-mail poll.

Any contribution to the development of this plugin is appreciated (documentation, bug reports, feature requests, review, code).

Can you describe how the sms notifications work? After setting it up with clicktatell i am able to send sms from the dashboard widget but when messages arrive i am unsure how and when mini mail would sms the number given in the settings profile about a new message. I have not purchased credit from cilckatell so its only in the testing mode but it should still send out an activitiy sms to indicate its working. Otherwise great plugin and I might contribute to its development and its documentation. I have found out a bunch of hairy details from experimenting that may help in its use.

Try separating the addresses with commas.

Marcel,

I know that, that’s why I have tried to send to several email account that i have access. But my message wasn’t exact. So sending a mail to 1 recipient “TO” and 1 recipient “BCC” is working but if tried to sent a mail to 1 recipient “TO” and >1 recipient “BCC” is not working. i have tested with syntax xx@xx.com;x2@xx.com;x3@xx.com.

Maybe the syntax is not good ? Let me know.

I have just tested this to be very sure and it is working as should.
Note that nobody who receives the e-mail can see who received a BCC.

Hello,

I have installed your plugin Version 1.41 on WP Version 3.3.1. After configuration it works fine BUT…one i’m trying to send a mail to many recipients and add them on BCC, the plugin send the mail ONLY to the “TO” recipient.

Suggestions are welcome.

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.
