I've been writing a wordpress plugin that allows me to access an email account from my dashboard. I've incorporated most of the features I want to at this point, and I've worked out as many bugs as I can. To go further I really need a few beta testers. Anyone willing to help can download the plugin here:

Wordpress plugin page

Usage instructions can be found at that link as well. You will need an email account that can be accessed through IMAP (POP3 might work but I haven't tested it).

Currently I've only tested it on my blog (wordpress 2.7.1). I need to know what issues people have and what version of wordpress they're using.

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing dude.... i will try it for my website soon....

Matt, I did a quick download and tried activating it, but it gave me a sitewide error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function admin_url() in /home/public_html/lightningshock/wp-content/plugins/wp-simplemail/wpSimpleMail.php on line 45

Not sure if it's conflicted by any of the plugins I have active or not though.

That function should be built into wordpress. What version are you using?

2.5....

I guess it only works on the newer versions then, unless a plugin of mine is interfering with the function.

I did all of my coding for WP 2.7.

I'll try to duplicate the functionality of admin_url()

Downloaded. When I get a chance I'll set it up on my development server and see how it looks.

That might be fixed now. I tried to either emulate or copy any WP 2.6+ code that would break this plugin in WP 2.5, but I haven't been able to verify that.

Thanks! I need all the feedback I can get.

Not quite yet, now there's a new error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function force_ssl_admin() in /home/mspqlbpr/public_html/lightningshock/wp-content/plugins/wp-simplemail/wpSimpleMailCompat.php on line 21

I updated compat with the missing force_ssl_admin function (and a couple others). Everything should be defined now.

Here is a new compat file if you're willing to give it a try:
EDIT: The next version (0.5) has been tested on 2.5.1 and it works. It will be released soon.
