I'd like to throw my hat in the ring to support this feature request. Sure many phones are getting nice blogging clients, but email is still more ubiquitous.

This is especially a problem for Gmail accounts since they won't work over regular POP3 (non-SSL). Also, having SSL is always a bonus as far as security is concerned.

This feature would be REALLY nice to have.

I've seen a few proposed workarounds for this, including using Postie and wp-gmail.php. But neither seem to be supported/updated anymore, and I couldn't get them to work.

In reference to the last posts on both: simply using ssl://pop.gmail.com as server address doesn't work. Since there's no SSL support in Wordpress, you just get an error from Gmail's server.

Blog via e-mail is ridiculously easy in Blogger, but I really like Wordpress. It would be nice to see this implemented in Wordpress so you just put your account name, server, and password and you have instant blogging (text & images at least) via secure SSL e-mail for easy mobile blogging.
