(no title) post

Postie doesn’t control who can edit or delete posts.

Sounds like there was some kind of issue when parsing the email if you got a no title post.

You can send me a debug log if you install and activate the Support AddOn https://postieplugin.com/downloads/support-addon/

Looks like they are tmp post created while parsing email and it hung. These post has no content and has no way to delete it from administrator account.
The question is how to delete these tmp posts.

It looks like a bigger problem than I thought. Have already installed the support add on and sent out a few emails.
Now I have many (no title) posts that I cannot delete with administrator account. Tried using the wordpress database repair function and it doesn’t help.

Just found out that media library has a lot of “(no title) — Logo” in the list. Like the (no title) posts, I cannot select, view, edit or delete.

Looks like Postie plugin has corrupt the database. Tried to repair the database via wordpress database repair and via phpmyadmin repair. Both are not working.

I appreciate that something odd is going on, but it is unlikely to be Postie as it never updates the database directly, it always uses standard WordPress functions like wp_insert_post()

Also Postie would never create a media file titled “(no title) — Logo” unless there was an attachment in your email with that exact title.

In order to provide additional help I would need you to install and activate the Support AddOn https://postieplugin.com/downloads/support-addon/

A corrupted database was the main cause of the problem. With the corrupted database, when postie parse the email with attachments, it will create post and media files with no content. After replacing a proper backup working database, there is no problem with postie.

Glad to hear you got it sorted.
