I’m using a hosting service that is using Unix/Apache. The email address is one I created using the hosting service.
I have sent emails to the secret address and I don’t get a bounce. I can use webmail to login and see the email is there.
WP sends me email if new comments are made.
When I try to connect using a pop3 server like outlook express, I have to enter the username and password. The member support area of my server says I must use SMTP authorization.
Since it pauses for a long time before the page is displayed, I think it can’t connect to the pop3 service, probably because of this extra layer of authorization required. Any way I can recode the page to connect using the extra info?

Yes. I’m using 1.2mingus.
I’d really like to get this working, as one of my posters may only have email access. Any help you can give to help me troubleshoot would be greatly appreciated.

That was me. Forgot to log in.

If enough people ask for a feature or a particular behavior of the software, it “should” be considered for addition to the software as an option (in the case where the original behavior is still desired) or a replacement to the original functionality (where the original behavior is not deemed useful). I’ve seen the request for the ability to define the order of the categories several times already in this forum since people aren’t satisfied with the default search order.
I had to hack my index.php file to change the sort order, but I would have preferred to choose the sort order in the categories administration page.
The full-featured answer would be to allow the admin to choose to sort by id, alphabetically by name, or by admin-defined order. True implementation of the admin-defined order would include a field for each record in the category table to hold the order index plus an interface in admin to allow admins to easily move categories up or down in a list to define the order.
Right now, it seems people are hacking the admin-defined order by editing their index.php to use alphabetical by name sorting, and then adding spaces to the beginning of their category names to make them sort the way they want. The spaces don’t show up in the list of categories, but the more spaces you have in front of the category, the higher it will appear in the sorted list.
