Probably your hosting provider blocks IMAP and/or SMTP traffic.

Hi there

Thanks for the plugin – sounds great! But I am having some issues. I set up my plugin to receive via IMAP and send via SMTP using settings that have worked on my desktop client and on my phone, but when I go to the dashboard I get Error 500.

Any idea what’s wrong?

Cheers

What version PHP are you using? Mini Mail should check the PHP version (at least 5.2.4 for the Zend Framework), but maybe this didn’t work in your case.

Hello,

I get a fatal error message when trying to activate this plugin. The message is below. I will look at the line, but I am not versed in PHP. Any help greatly appreciated.

Maybe your hosting provider (or server) blocks IMAP/POP traffic.

Hi Marcel,
I’m creating a small extranet groupware like blog (not live yet) and your plugin would be really helpful. Unfortunately, i can’t make it work. using imap i get an allocation error and using pop3 i get a “read failed – connection closed?” error.
The settings are the same i use in outlook so they should be fine.
Any ideas?

FYI … if you have “WP Security Scan 2.7.1.2 by Michael Torbert at “http://semperfiwebdesign.com/plugins/wp-security-scan/”, you will get an error on your dashboard stating “Mini Mail requires at least WordPress 2.7, installed version is abc”.

Nice thing is, I would not consider this a bug, as the “Security Scan” plugin is not necessary to be active all the time, but only activated when you want to perform a quick check, the deactivate it.

So, if you hear of anyone beating their head over this, now you know.

Thanks for the plugin!

Lane
WP v2.8.6

Take a look at this comment for more detailed instructions. I think you are using Yahoo! Mail. In that case you can use Mini Mail only if you have a Mail Plus subscription, because Yahoo! POP access is not free. See here for technical details.
