If you are using postie then wp-mail.php is not the page to use.
Instead go to Settings->Postie and click either (or both) “Test Settings” and “Run Postie”
Forgive me; when I use Postie (dashboard -> settings -> Postie -> “test config”) appears this message:
“International support
Only required for international character set support
iconv yes
imap (required for subjects) yes
Clock Tests

These try to confirm that the email configuration is correct.

My email is AOL mail (i’M using IMAP and POP).
Did you see this message:
“Try putting in your full email address as a userid and try again”
Friends, I put email in short mode (username) and full mode (username@domain.com). I tried IMAP and POP protocols, too. Is there any email service or configuration recommended for “trial mode” of this plug-in?
When you click “Test Config” what message do you get under the “Mail Tests” heading?
For AOL the protocol is either POP3-SSL or IMAP-SSL
I’m not sure what you mean by “trial mode”
Dear Wayne,
sorry to ask but, what your level of experience with the plug-in postie?

Forgive my mistakes with english, I wanted know if there is a default (or example) setting to use Postie (e-mail service recommended, among others indications).
Even if you can not help, thank you just the same.
I am the maintainer of the plugin, that is my level of experience.
Are you using the IMAP or the IMAP-SSL setting? It is unclear from your previous posts and IMAP-SSL is required for AOL.
I’m using IMAP in AOL.
I put at internet all settings that I’m using with AOL E-mail:

I accept suggestions about a good (free) e-mail service to use with postie, or the right settings, if the best solution… Thanks for attention and patience!
For AOL you need to use IMAP-SSL not just IMAP.
Wayne, you know to configure this IMAP-SSL in AOL or WordPress (or where I can find this information)? If don’t is just to say, we close this topic and I will search this information in other forum. Thanks.
I discover at
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_AOL_Mail_with_Mozilla
the configuration ports for AOL e-mail (inclusive IMAP-SSL); the settings that I’m using already are for IMAP-SSL: port 993.
Someone in WP Community has some suggestion to help?
