    Two days of searching the forum is about the limit where I ask…is it possible to add posts by email. It seems to indicate that it can under Settings/Writing but I sure can’t figure it out. When I check wp-mail I get some dumb message about “hold on cowboy….”

    Any pointers on getting something like this to work.

    Thanks

    is it possible to add posts by email

    Yes – it’s possible but only basic posts. No fancy formatting etc. It’s a little old now but have a look at Post_to_your_blog_using_email and the Remote Publishing section in the more up-to-date Settings_Writing_Screen.

    Thanks for the reply. I’ve set everything up correctly but when trying to run wp-mail.php, I get either a connection time out or an error authorizing the email account. I know I have the correct email account sever info installed on the settings/writing page, so I’m sure it’s something within the bowls of WP.

    There are hundreds of threads on the forum about this but wish there was something within a new WP install that addressed this.

    Check with your hosts that they are allowing unfiltered email through their servers. Some hosts restrict access to mails servers based on the domain name.
