in addition … I performed the “Manual Browser Activation”, the web-page states that the email was retrieved, posted and deleted from it’s designated email server. So … up to this stage, it is working, but still, the post is not displayed. Thank-You, MLR

I resolved a few of the problems. The email Box dedicated to receiving my blog post (from my computer’s email application) must be set to IMAP and must receive Plain Text only. I have one more problem but I’ll start a new Forum string. MLR

got it … when I email the blog post from my computer’s email program, my sender’s email address must match my administers email address (that is set up in my WordPress’s Users >Manage Users >my admin profile). bye 4 now, MLR
I’m VERY glad I found this entry. I had precisely the same problem and experience – very frustrating. After reading your solution I went back to the post-by-email entry in the codex [ http://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_by_Email#Email_Format ] and re-read the “Hack E-mail Format” at the bottom. It seems that wp-mail.php has been enhanced to only accept email from users that are known to it. The Admin user is known by default, and so email-post works for admin. If you want to use a different email account, you need to create a new user in your WordPress blog to match your email account, and wp-mail will add that user to the database. That’s the general solution, at least asof Jan 11 2009.

Could you please help me in sorting uot this problem.
