cameron Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Hello, <P> I searched this and other forums thoroughly to no avail. <P> My issue is that in phpnuke 6.8 installed from cpanel I cannot retrieve email from my mail server. (mail.catppl.com) It sends out email flawlessly, however when I try to retrieve I get "Error: load)" (The partial paranthesis is in the error message.) <P> Here is the kicker: It will retrieve email from other pop servers without issue. <P> The information I am using is: <P> Pop Server: mail.catppl.com <P> Username: cameron+catppl.com <P> Port: 110 <P> In case you are wondering I have attempted with various catppl email accounts to verify it wasn't the account. Can anyone give me some ideas or insight here? I can't think of anything else to troubleshoot / try. <P> I am new to phpnuke but am rolling with it pretty well other than this. <P> Thanks! <P> Cameron Quote
MikeJ Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 The information I am using is:Pop Server: mail.catppl.com Username: cameron+catppl.com Port: 110 For pop3 access, that should be cameron@catppl.com. You only use cameron+catppl.com for the htaccess login for webmail (the browser popup login). A little confusing, I know. Quote
cameron Posted March 17, 2004 Author Posted March 17, 2004 Update: I found this thread on phpcops: http://nukecops.com/postlite24133-webmail.html which definitely shed some light. I now can successfully access my cpanel login email acct via nuke, howver am unable to access all other email accts. Keep in mind I can retrieve from other pop servers. Still looking.. PS. Happy St. Patricks Day everybody! Quote
cameron Posted March 17, 2004 Author Posted March 17, 2004 Thanks for the super fast reply Mike! I have tried with cameron@catppl.com as the username and no dice. Any other ideas? Quote
MikeJ Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 I've never used Phpnuke, so no other ideas off hand. If someone doesn't have an answer for you, I'll install a copy and take a look. Quote
DarqFlare Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 I don't know myself... If I get the chance later today I'll test install it as well and see what I can come up with. Quote
cameron Posted March 17, 2004 Author Posted March 17, 2004 I tried the following suggested possible fix but that didn't do the trick: "Howdy Nukers, I had the same problem as you were having, so I spent some time fingering around with some DB settings. It turns out that the DB may not be fully storing your password. The default value for storing a password is 20 characters. That isn't enough character storage if you have a big password, and not only that, your password gets encrypted, which adds more characters to it. A simple solution it to go into your database with an application such as phpMyAdmin and follow these steps: - Note: This was performed in v6.5 with phpMyAdmin 1. Scroll down your table list and look for nuke_popsettings, and click browse. 2. Click on structure. 3. Scroll down the field list to passwd and click on change. 4. Edit the Length/Values number and give it a higher number, such as 60. I used 100 since I use real long passwords. 5. Save your changes. 6. Go back into WebMail and go to your account settings and re-enter your password so it gets fully recorded. I hope that helps you out." This was from http://www.nukecops.com/postp21076.html Quote
TCH-Dick Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 I just installed it on my test domain. I used the follwing information and was able to retrieve my email. Pop Server: mail.mydomain.net Username: username(dont add +@ the domain) Port: 110 Quote
cameron Posted March 18, 2004 Author Posted March 18, 2004 Did you use your cpanel login or an email acct you created? I can't replicate with any email accts other than the default IE cpanel login. Thanks! Quote
TCH-Dick Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 I haven't gave up. Talk to several people and did some searching. No one seems to have answer. Ill look into it some more tomorrow. Quote
cameron Posted March 18, 2004 Author Posted March 18, 2004 Cool thanks for your efforts! If any phpnuke users have found a solution to this issue please do chime in. Quote
TCH-Dick Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 Still no answer but I found this today Copyright issue on WebMail module Quote
cameron Posted March 20, 2004 Author Posted March 20, 2004 Thanks for your continued efforts! Looks like the link you provided has the ultimate solution, they're killing the webmail module. Hopefully the new version will work better anyway. Thanks a lot for everyones help! Quote
TCH-Dick Posted March 20, 2004 Posted March 20, 2004 I found this at SquirrelMail.org. Still conflicts with Copyright issue, but.... Enclosed are the files to allow better integration of SquirrelMail with PHP-Nuke. Integration may be a bit of an exaggeration, but it allows one to use SquirrelMail instead of the WebMail that comes with PHP-Nuke. WebMail.zip Quote
pelon Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Recently I've found a package called ACEMail which can finally handle my not-default email accounts create from cpanel. But for my site it cannot handle any attachment. The recent version is ACEMail-Reloaded.zip and you may check some discussions here: http://www.nukecops.com/postlite10678-.html ...and you may want to make a good backup of the database before you decided to give it a try Quote
