I do SEO optimization. A lot of it. With the Pro version of the component, which is quite better than the free one. When I write an article all I have to do is post it to an email address, known only to me, and here it goes: it is posted in all my J1.5 sites.



It not only supports HTML - I have full control upon which tags to allow in my content and which tags gets stripped (when importing RSS like e-mails). It supports attached files, so I am able to put some images on the right place in my articles! I do love this option!



Frankly I've never tested with Kunena or other joomla based forum engine. Nevertheless it does what I need it to do - it makes my life easier saving me time and efforts.

Too limited

I'm giving two stars rather than one star because it was my mistake to buy this...I should have made use of the demo site to test the functionality. It's a shame there's no demo site for the pro version though.



If you want plain text only article submission by email, this seems to do the job - it doesn't seem to handle html formated emails well, stripping the code but leaving a few random characters.



I had hoped you could control the category/section choices through codes in the email body or title, but it requires multiple mailboxes if you want to submit to different categories and sections.



The cron job set-up might be a stumbling block for some users...I don't think that's really the fault of this component though, Joomla itself probably needs a scheduling framwework...



The English in the support forums is pretty hard work though...as far as I can understand only the pro version supports collecting emails from Gmail mailboxes (because of the bespoke ports and SSL traffic encryption), but I couldn't get it to successfully import an email from a non-Gmail mailbox, when the email was sent to it from Gmail either...not even when using the developers own test mailbox - it inserted the title but stripped the body text. Gmail seems to encode (not encrypt!!!) the email such that the component can't read it properly. I couldn't seem to explain my issues in simple enough English to find a solution...just kept getting told that encryption wasn't supported and to read the product descriptions



Responses on the forum were quick though, but ultimately I personally found that the level of English was inadequate for my support needs.



It's also worth noting that their licensing policy seems to have changed since the comment below from "Seeraj" - once you've bought the component you're then only allowed two further downloads.



I think it has potential and if your needs are pretty basic, you probably won't be disappointed.



Personally, I was disappointed, but mostly with myself I guess...I could have avoided wasting my money by properly testing the component on the developer's demo site.

What about spam?

I would like to work with this extension but can't get any reply or input via forum or email contact to determine how it manages unsolicited email to account, which loads all content. Hopefully we'll get some feedback. The email is an important issue.
Owner's reply: We answer of all questions in our support forum, but question about this is not received. You can post Your questions in support forum here: http://3dwebdesign.org/forum/index.php?showforum=24

About unsolicited email: extension can work with many email boxes. If you want to post only your own content, use secret name for mail box that is not known from another person. This work in exact way in wordpress and any other cms supporting post by email. Instead of this Your idea to import emails only from certain authors is good and will be included in next version.

Not happy

I purchased, downloaded and installed the software without a hitch. I was using another email program and had over 1500 emails on hold that I couldn't get to download to my site. But with POST BY EMAIL, all waiting emails downloaded in a few seconds and now my contributor's articles are showing up where they should be. THANK YOU for a GREAT piece of software!!!!!!
Owner's reply: Seraaj, thank You! We keep develop component and adding new functions. All users that buy component receive all future updates for free.
