Post via email – 2.3.1

What email client you use? Don’t use OE. Use for example TheBat.

i was using gmail…

any idea then why it won’t work? will gmail cause it?

Post via Email doesn’t work on all hosts and/or setups. I can’t get it to work on GoDaddy hosting at all, for example. This is because of GoDaddy’s setup in that particular case.

Otto42, do you have any more specifics on what keeps it from working? I’m a new WordPress user on LiquidWeb servers running a 2.3.1 WP install and I can’t get emails to post. I’ve tried:
1. using both mail.mydomain.org and localhost as the mail server in the blog-by-email config page
2. installing the <iframe...> code in the footer.php file in the default (for now) theme folder per the instructions found at https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Blog_by_Email. (Can this code go anywhere in the footer file? Does it have to appear before/after the </html> tag?)
3. making sure I was sending emails from the address used in my admin profile
4. making sure I refreshed the blog each time I saved a new version of the footer or changed anything else…

The LiquidWeb techs haven’t been able to help yet either, not that that’s their job…

What else should I try? And if it simply won’t work, what’s the next easiest way to easily post to my own blog? I’d prefer to avoid having to work from within the WP admin interface, if possible, and I’d prefer to avoid having to manage a bunch of other plugins or such.

Mail server: ssl://pop.gmail.com Port: 995
