Full Version: Is there a plugin or anything for...

OK, so I want to know how to do this:

1. Create an email [email protected]
2. When emailed to them it will show up in the PM Box



You may ask, why would I need to do this? Can't people just PM me?
The reason I am asking this is so that guests can email me instead of a PM.

Also, if I could have it where the subject is EMAIL: {subject}
Or an alert message like when you get PMs saying:
You have One unread E-Mail(s) from {user} title: {subject}


Thank you!
It's not possible to be done with a plugin, I don't think. It could be done the other way around, but I don't think it can be done the way you want.
A plugin can't (by itself) do 1), you have to have a mailserver that handles the email account for you. Querying the email account and showing emails in your PM folder, could be done with a POP3 or IMAP client library written in PHP. There are PHP webmail interfaces that do the same thing, talk to the mail server same way any regular email client does.

I just don't see much point to it when real email clients are so much better...
your host can provide this.
