 * I am using a shared hosting service that won’t let me use WP-cli, or I don’t 
   want to use it. Is there an alternative to setting up a cron job to call the 
   script? I want to be able to use the reply by email feature without having to
   use wp-cli, and I’m sure some other people might like this as well.
 * Thanks for the great plugin1

 * Thanks, but I was looking for an alternative to using WP-CLI. I have access to
   Cron, just not WP-CLI.

 * No, I have not. And, since this, we’ve moved away from P2

 * Do you mind if I ask what you’re using now? I was thinking something like bbPress…
   I just want to have a nice internal discussion tool….
