    I donno why, but however hard i am trying to fix the posting by email option it still doesn’t work. Maybe i screwed up sg, but i don’t think. Is it working for you? What is the secret?
    ++
    Ooops POP3 connect: Error [] [] < that’s the message i get when opening up wp-mail.php in the browser. I tried it out for several accounts, no matter what kind of mailing service i get that message. Anyway i just tried to fill out the mail server field, and the message stays the same. It just doesn’t go further than trying to reach the mailservers. It doesn’t work for pop3.example.com, mail.example.com, example.com.
    Tried to search for common problems here in the forum but did not find any, so if you helped me with linking some that would be great.
    (I guess it’s somehow in connection with my host.)
    Thnx.

    Have you searched the forums yet for that particular issue, yet? There are a lot of posts around here. Normally I’d throw you a few links, but I’m in a bit of a hurry. I’m sure you can handle it.

    You can see added information to the problem, still did not find any solution.

    Er, that’s not really what i wanted. Maybe i expressed myself somehow badly. The problem is that pop3 connection cannot be established. Simply cannot reach any kind of mailserver. No problems with times or dates, it is nor the html/plain text. Got it?

    I updated wp-mail.php with a hack from John B. Hewitt. It seems to be working now. I think my host is blocking me when trying to reach a mail server. As i am a graphic designer, i do not really have too much idea about this below:
    Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /mnt/ultraweb/v/vi/viragelet/PEAR.php on line 62

    That sounds like a hosting issue. Have you contacted your hosting provider yet?

    Deleted out a php line in connection with that ini shit. It seemed to be working;
    Ooops POP3 connect: Error [] []
    this problem still exists, a php-expert – a friend of mine is dealing with the problem now. Hope he can solve it.
