vB Email Reply 0.7BETA
What it does: This allows your members (and you of course) to reply to threads by email. All they have to do is wirte to a specific email address (that you specify) and include a special code in the email subject. How it works: A script (vbemailreply.php) is run using the vB3 Cronsystem every minute. This checks a pop3 or imap account for emails and then processes these emails, inserting the data into the database. Then a reply is sent to the sender, stating that either the post/thread got entered correctly or that there was some kind of error. Is it complicated? Actually no. There is an install script that does most of the work as well as two small file changes. If you do have problems installing it, contact me for help. Changes: New files (2): /includes/cron/vbmailreply.php /includes/mimeDecode.php Changed files(1): /includes/functions_newpost.php New database fields/tables(1): New userfield added by installscript New templates(0): Changed templates(0): New phrases(3): emailreplyerror emailreplydone emailnewthreaddone Changed phrases(1): notify Screenshots: none Credits: The idea and small parts of the script are based on Chen 'FireFly' Avinadav's Email posts into forum hack, found here: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...threadid=40595 Instructions:
This hack will always be free, however your donations are kindly accepted and will help towards further development. If you donate, please leave me some info (either your forum site or username at vB.org) so that I can thank you.  Install: Don't feel like donating, but still want to thank me for my work?

Oh my god, it's english!
Well it isn't that hard to translate  Translate the three phrases emailreplydone, emailreplyerror and emailnewthreaddone. The error messages are hardcoded into the vbemailreply.php file, you can change them in there if you like. Can I use this with a mailserver that requires SSL? Not yet. I haven't built in that function yet, but if you need it, respond in this thread or PM me, then I'll code it in as well.

I keep getting these errors:
Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream {mail.myserver.com:143}INBOX in /site/www/includes/cron/vbemailreply.php on line 41 Warning: imap_headers(): supplied argument is not a valid imap resource in /site/www/includes/cron/vbemailreply.php on line 42 Warning: imap_close(): supplied argument is not a valid imap resource in /site/www/includes/cron/vbemailreply.php on line 263 I've tried both pop3 and imap and neither works. (The mail account has been verified to work on both using other means) No members have liked this post.

OK, that would mean you can't connect to the mail server.
Can you PM me your mailserver data?

This should fix it for all of them.

Do you have PHP compiled with the IMAP module? You may need to judging from those errors. I could be wrong.
