Hi Barry.

I tried dropping the INBOX parameter but it appears not to have helped. However I have just realised that the sending *out* of emails (via cron) is no longer working either, so there's probably a bigger issue here. I'm still a little concerned that I can successfully run process_mail_queue.php from the address bar of my web browser, but not download_emails.php, especially when it's given as an example in one of the read-me's.

Anyway, it looks like I need to revisit cron it seems, so I'll do that and get back to the list.

Paul.

Hi Paul,

I just rechecked my cron. Drop the INBOX parameter.

Hi Barry.

I used the example I did because it's listed in the install file (and assumed it would work the same!). I don't have access to the command line as E is installed on shared web hosting, but I believe I can try what you suggested with a cron task. I think it looks a lot like what you wrote, but I will check carefully to be sure.

Regards, Paul.

Hi Paul,

Download_emails.php is a command line program. As such you provide the parameters like so:

Php -q download_emails.php eventum+example.com mail.example.com INBOX

Try that.

Hi all. I'm having a minor issue with E receiving emails. I have set up the cron task as well as I know (and it works fine for *sending* emails) but not for receiving them. Ignoring cron though, I'll use the web interface as an example. My username is the email account's email address with a + instead of a @, so I end up with this:

download_emails.php?username=eventum+example.com&hostname=mail.example.c om&mailbox=INBOX

Within Admin > Manage Email Accounts, I've set it as an IMAP account with the correct port number, correct password and INBOX has been left alone. As far as I can tell, it should be working properly, (the test appears to work fine) but I get the error message:

Error: Could not find a email account with the parameter provided. Please verify your email account settings and try again.

I think everything is right, but continue to receive this error. I've sent a couple of emails to the account and read them via webmail to verify their existence. If I knew which parameter was wrong I'd stand a chance of fixing it! Can anybody please shed any light on this?

Regards, Paul.
