basically what the prob is, is b2evo doesn't post the email until i go into the backoffice and hit that verbose link.

kinda irritating, defeats point of posting via email.

???????

What verbose link are talking about?

global settings > features > blog by email

there's a link that says "verbose" that shows you exactly what b2evo does to get the email.

i mean, technically everything works fine, i just don't like how long it takes for b2evo to post the email... anyway to make it be instant? or at least faster?

It sounds like you have everything set up... except for scheduled jobs.

Without properly configured scheduled jobs, b2evo has no way of knowing that it needs to go check your email server (unless you click the "verbose" link, obviously).

You either need a cronjob (or scheduled task) set up on your server to execute "/path/to/php /real/path/to/your/b2evo/install/cron/getmail.php" at regular intervals...

or,

an automated script on a local machine that "touches" http://your.domain.tld/blog/cron/getmail.php at regular intervals.

If "Blog by Email" is working for you at all right now... it's because some evil web-bot is hitting the getmail.php file, and accidentally doing you a favor. ;)

ok cool... how do i set up a cron job? lol :)

well i think i got it lol... thx :)
