    Hi,

    What I should do to post via email, if I use gmail.

    I follow all the instructions from gmail and my wordpress, and I don’t get it, I don’t see my news appearing on my blog.

    Here is my site: https://health.freepgs.com

  • Jon,

    Couple suggestions… First of all, if you want to use the “Post via E-mail” feature built in to WordPress, then you have to use a POP3 server that is not running over SSL. Gmail only supports access to POP via SSL.

    So the first thing you need to do is to go use a wordpress plugin that support POPvSSL. A great choice appears to be “postie” which also supports a ton of other great features.

    Look for it here… https://postie.economysizegeek.com/

    Second, if you are having problems with this on a Win32 server machine, your problem may be related to these PHP bugs…

    Apparently php_imap.dll doesn’t work with php_openssl.dll on Win32.

    The bug appears to have been fixed in PHP builds after Feb. 19, 2007.

    Good Luck.

    is there a free, online email we can use besides gmail? I have everything configured, and I downloaded the plugin (and activated it), but it still won’t work.

    thanks for the help
