Gmail IMAP/Internal POP

    Morning!
    I just purchased the premium version of the plugin-excited to get this up and running. Quick question, the server for my client is pointing towards gmail. Can I configure this plugin using gmail’s IMAP, or does it have to be an internal POP/IMAP? And if it does need to be internal, can I use another domain that I own (for example, [email protected] instead of [email protected]) as the email?
    Cheers,
    Nicholas

    Hi Nicholas,
    We do not support gmail IMAP. You can set it up using your domain email (mailbox for which resides on the same server). Let me know if any problem. You can use premium support forums for quicker help.

    Thanks

    From newly added hooks, you can connect wordpress mailing group to gmail inbox.

    Add the snippet in your functions.php and then see.

    
function gmail_imap_connection_string_wpmg($strConnect){

$strConnect = '{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX';

return $strConnect;

}

add_filter("mg_change_imap_flag","gmail_imap_connection_string_wpmg");

    I’m having an issue getting this working. I’ve verified that my mail account info is correct and I’ve tried two mail accounts. I’ve also verified that the cron is running by having it e-mail me when it runs and I’ve tried both suggested cron methods. My question is about pop support. Why is there not a “test POP3” button like the test Imap connection button? Is POP actually supported? I’ve tried with SSL and without and nothing seems to be working. I read in another thread about the possibility of including logging in a future version… this definitely be something worth logging. Info like host not found, incorrect username or pass, or any other relevant info would at least let me know whether I’m on the right track or not. Changing the button to “test e-mail connection” and making it work with POP or Imap would be a good start instead of me guessing whether that’s what’s supposed to happen.

    Thanks for the great plug-in otherwise! My mail provider (GoDaddy) wants to charge more for an Imap account which is a bit insane, I think.

    The Test imap button is actually “Test imap/POP3 settings” button, it tests imap and POP3 both. The name is confusing, i agree, that’s because imap or pop3 both string are used in an imap_open function hence the name.

    Can you paste the error info you get when you click Test imap connection button, i might be able to help. The button is put up to help users to know whatever error the imap_open function is throwing. Unfortunately, the errors thrown by functions are not very specific.

    I would love to know where you would like to see more clear instructions or error logging in mailing group settings. We want to improve the plugin as much as we can.
