 * Hello!
    I’m using Postie plugin for posting per email, but I have a problem when
   I try to send an image or a file with the message. That’s because I can’t set
   the two folders (wp-filez and wp-fotos) as writeable: my hosting server doesn’t
   allow me to set chmod to 777 for file or 750 for folders! 🙁 They say that Php
   and Ftp belong to the same user “Ftp”, so that Php doesn’t have to ask for a 
   permission. So, if I cancel the part of the plugin where it aks for the permission
   it should work, isn’t it? Please, could anyone help me and say where should I
   delete the code?
 * Thank you,
 *  ‘ndrea

 * I’m not familiar with this one, but, have you tried going through the posts over
   [here](http://wordpress.org/tags/postie) once yet? Maybe someone else around 
   here can help you better? Good luck!

 * Sooo… Somehow I’ve solved this problem. I have re-created the two folders wp-
   filez and wp-photos and they were now recognized as created by me -> so writeable
   with a 740.
    hm… that’s my interpretation, I’m not a coder 🙂
 * So… [resolved] !
