Hi Bryan,

Well, I got the cron running by using the GET command. So now I have process_mail_queue.php running regularly. There are no errors but also no emails.

To download emails I need to do this manually as I can only run three cron jobs at the moment. Not sure if I can run two GET commands in one cronjob, but I don't think so.

So I tried manually in a browser: http://www.pamela-systems.com/eventum/misc/download_emails.php?username=web2 1p4&hostname=mail.pamela-systems.de

No matter what I do or what I configure above, all the time I get the same error: Error: Could not find a email account with the parameter provided. Please verify your email account settings and try again.

However, when I test the settings in Eventum related to email the result is that the settings are correct and working.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Hi Bryan,

Thanks for your quick reply. However, I am not too technical . Can you please explain:

*quote* You can call the cronjobs from the web interface, i.e. http://example.com/misc/process_mail_queue.php *quote*

What do you mean "call cronjobs"? Do you mean to insert this into the command line of the cronjob? I tried it and it returns a lot of errors. Or does this need to be added to the index.php of the web

interface?

I meant that if you call that url (using your correct domain of course) you will run the script to send mail. Trying loading that URL in firefox/ie and see what happens.

*quote* If 'wget' is available on your host, you can use this in your cronjob. *quote*

What is "wget"? I have a shared environment with no direct access to the PHP settings/directory.

wget is a program to download a web page from the command line, i.e. "wget http://example.com/misc/process_mail_queue.php" is just like if you used your web browser to load the page. So if you use that command as part of your cronjob, things should work.
