Jack,
How about relax? I hope your attitude isn't the norm around here, because it gives me a bad impression of this community.... Sorry we got off on the wrong foot. Its just that i'm a female and tech message boards, in general, are just crowed with ego driven men.
Thanks
Amber
Amber,I'm going backward here, like men sometimes do. ;)First, I wouldn't say you got off on the wrong foot. This is pretty normal on this forum.Second, I am relaxed. You really don't understand my attitude, and it really shouldn't be relevant--you need help, and I'm trying to help. That's what really matters, rigjht? You will find that a lot of tech people are direct, and it's tempting to interpret that as being rude or whatever. It's just...direct (ego has nothing to do with it--it's more about efficiency). I don't take things personally, and anyone does, it's not productive. Now I've spent time that could have been spent assisting, but it was necessary. ;) 1. Yes, I am on v1.9.5.1 stable 2. No, I still can't get email to work 3. No the WIKI/other threads on the board did not help me Questions 1. In /scp/emails.php I added 1 email address: support@mydomain.com. When I click on that email address I'm not sure how to configure/setup my settings on this page. 2. Is this the only area that needs to be modified, to make email alerts work? 3. The best method to check to see if these setting are correct is, the "Diagnostic" link?This is much more helpful.You put support@mydomain.com for the email address in /scp/emails.php. It may seem like a dumb question, but believe me, I have to ask: Does this account already exist? (We've had users who thought all the had to do was put an email address in, and it would be created for them).Can you access this account via a mail client like Outlook or Thunderbird? If so, those settings need to be used for "fetching" and "sending" mail for that account. If it's a Gmail-hosted account, IMAP (or POP) access has to be enabled in the account's "settings". Once that's done, you can get the setup info from Gmail's online help.Then you need to decide how to schedule the email fetching. Using auto-cron will allow you to test, but it's not a good long term solution, in my opinion. But we need to know about your system in order to tell you how to schedule it. That's why we ask those questions in the "Please read before requesting assistance" topic. I have to say, it's frustrating to try and help without this information.Hope that helps move you forward a little bit. Once we know about your system and setup, maybe we can assist more.Jack
