In reply to: postie installi appreciate that but i guess my understanding of this forum was to be able to use the wordpress plug-in not to prove it cannot be used so do something else.
i really appreciate the assistance but i need to be able to get postie working. are we basically saying postie does not work?does it maybe just not work with a “real” email address?
i went in and reset the settings using an email with gmail. now i have pop.gmail.com for the server, user name for the user id (gmail says to use the full email address so i did). i also changed the port to 995 because that is what gmail says to use in “set up pop in mail clients” and i went into my gmail settings, went to “forwarding and pop/imap” and clicked to “enable” pop in all mail.
this time the error is:
MAKE SURE POP IS TURNED ON IN SETTING AT Gmail
Connecting to pop.gmail.com:995 (pop3))
Mail Connection Time OutCommon Reasons:
Server Down
Network Issue
Port/Protocol MisMatch
The Server Said POP3 connect: Error [110] [Connection timed out]
_________________________________
As mentioned i did check the pop setting in gmail and it is enabled. i also changed the port to 995 as gmail instructs so i do not know why the error says “error[110[“. just to check i went back into postie settings and changed the port back to 110 and i got the same error except the “995” was a “110” in the error message. in the error message the second “110” was still a “110”.
does postie just not work at all?
thank you.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: postie installi just saw the reply, thanks.
when i activated postie the first drop down box in the “mailserver” tab only allows “pop3” the pop3-ssl and other settings are not an option.my own hosted email is pop so i do not imagine that would be a problem.
i created a new email. i set up that email on my local machine “mail” software and it works fine with incoming 110.i have all the same data in postie but it is timing out.
i also have gmail addresses but the postie instructions say that in order to use gmail i have to select something other than pop3 but only pop3 in available in the drop down box under the “mailserver” tab.
from the default all i changed was mailserver (mail.domain.com) the user name (username@domain.com) the password and port 110. then i changed the admin name under the “user” tab. And i changed the category to one of my WP categories.
i set up the mail address myself so there is no one else who would have created any firewalls or anything and i set the same fields in the local machine and it is sending and receiving from “mail” just fine.
what else could i need to change in postie?
thanks!

In reply to: postie installmaybe the problem is the timer? i am unsure what it means but it was originally set at “-4”. what it the story with the timer? can i set it to somehow accept the email as a post in real time?

In reply to: postie installthe FAQ says “Make sure the port you are using is open.” but i do not know what that means. i looked inthe NS email settings and it says to use:
mail.dimain.comand port 110
which is what i did. i added the user name and password and when i received the error i changed the user name to the full email but still received the same error.

In reply to: postie installthanks. i am the “webmaster” for the site. i set up the hosting, FTP, wrote the code and created the email for the domain. i do not think there is anything i do not have access to. i have hosting at network solutions. i created an email just to use with postie. i waited 30 minutes and sent/received email to make sure it was live.
then i entered the data in the postie settings on the WP blog. i usually think if “third party” as yahoo, gmail, hotmail and that sort of thing. it that not true? i am using my own domain as the email.
thanks!
