Plugin: WP SimpleMail
I have an email account that I more or less, use exclusively for this blog. As such I thought it would be nice to incorporate that email account into my blog’s Dashboard. So I wrote a plugin that allows me to access an IMAP email account from my dashboard. You can download it Here.
Currently its only been tested on my blog. That being the case I would greatly appreciate some feedback and bug reports. Feel free to install it and give it a try.
hi, thanks for grate plugin, works grate for me.
I what to set email fore editor, but that how do i need set permitions????
Editor can’t see plugin!!!!!!!
Permissions can be set in the configuration menu. Currently permissions are set using the numeric user level values: http://codex.wordpress.org/User_Levels
The default is 8.
Is there anyway to use your plugin to show the email login page in the wordpress post or page? I am trying to create a email login page/form using wordpress for my family member to login to their email that I created in the cpanel. I don’t really like the cpanel webmail login page.
If only your webmail login page can be imbedded into a wordpress post or page, then my family can just visit the website to login directly to webmail.
Regards.
Unfortunately implementing a feature like this is outside of the current scope of this plugin. I think you’ll find however, that for an experienced plugin developer converting the existing plugin to support this functionality would not be very difficult. I was thinking of a more WPMU oriented plugin that would accomplish what you are looking for, but I don’t intend to begin work on it in the near future, especially considering I’ve been somewhat neglecting SimpleMail as it is now (due to my own very busy schedule).
I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more articles from you in the future.

Hi,
the plugin installed well in my wordpress 2.7.1. It showed up the configuration settings also. However, it is not showing any inbox or compose mail window. When I click inbox OR compose, only a blank window appears. What could be the problem?
It might be the case that the server you are trying to connect to is allowing the connection to timeout. What service are you trying to connect to?
Hi thanks! It works now. I can send email but my inbox still says ‘Empty’. Takes a while?
Ow sorry! no problem here. It al works fine. Just had some server DNS issues. Plugin works great! thanks!
how did you do?
my incoming/outgoing mail server: mail.esanstudio.net
[mail.esanstudio.net (server requires authentication) port 26]
this info said that my webmail server port is 26 right?
so the host is: mail.esanstudio.net:26 <- it’s right?
i created a webmail user:
admin@esanstudio.net
and
************** (password)
so
user: admin@esanstudio.net
password: **************
it’s right?
another filed just left for default. it’s right?
sorry..but i don’t know what the problems..there..
thanks..for any replys
Port 26 is most likely your smtp port. You need your IMAP port, the default is 143, but that might not be the case on your server. If you cannot determine your IMAP port contact your host.
Hmm I get some more failures now, something is just screwed up here. Don’t think your plugin has anything to do with it. Anyway I just keep trying.
I believe it is fixed now. Version 0.5.2 is now available in the wordpress plugin directory. Let me know if you have any additional problems.
Hi, sounds sweet but I don’t get it to work just yet. I’ve been getting these 5555 failures.

Thank you for creating with WordPress. | Documentation | Feedback
Version 2.7.1
Thanks for reporting that. The problem is your connection info is incorrect, but the plugin should not be reporting the error like that (because I forgot to suppress the warning on imap_ping). I’m making the changes now and I’ll release a new version within the hour.
Works good. Any thoughts for re-formatting the inbox page? Column sizes are off quite a bit. thanks!
I know, it ain’t pretty. I’ll work on the formatting in a later version. Unfortunately I’m a much better coder than designer.
Works great, thank you
