    Hello everyone,

    Does anyone know a way to post to WP2.0 by sending an email?

    Also, would it be possible to upload an image via email and have it included in the post?

    If this were possible… I could actually post from my cell phone while here in Japan… The possiblities are endless!

    Here’s hopin~

    Log in as admin and go to Options -> Writing.

    See http://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_by_Email for more details.

    Thanks HandySolo.

    I have a question on this…

    I’m getting “Ooops POP3 connect: Error [61] [Connection refused]” currently when I try to access the wp-mail.php page.

    The writing options “Mail Server” should be my hosts SMTP Server correct?

    The login name, should be the secret email address I have chosen to send mail to when posting via email correct?

    Finally, the password, should be the passowrd I currently use to log into my hosts email account (in my case same for this new account), correct?

    Maybe I’m missing something simple here!

    Also one more thing, is it possible to make it so posts which are submitted via email, are saved as drafts instead of immediately posted? Any tips appreciated!

    Afraid I can’t help you much more than I have — I don’t use this functionality.

    However, I’m pretty sure you want the hosts POP3 server for “Mail Server” as WP needs to go FETCH your message, not send it.
