====== IMAP2wiki ======

Below you find a script that connects to an IMAP server, and posts the emails to the namespace that is in the subject line.

By this method it is possible to have people comment on things that appear in electronic newsletters, by just clicking on a link like ''mailto:dokuwikiposter@domain.com?subject=namespace:pagename''

Regard this as experimental, and some work has to be done to this script, especially making it tamper proof. Authentication is not incorporated yet.

Please commment below if you use or adapt this script, I'd be glad to hear from you.

====== How to use ======

- adapt the configuration data below to match your IMAP account, replace the imapserver IP address with your own
  - put the script somewhere on your server
  - you may run it manually or have it run as a cronjob

====== Discussion ======

I can't get this to work. I get the following message:
Wiki found... Submitted to localhost
Posted to localhost

But the wiki is not updated with the new info.
Also i had to add /notls to the imap_server config to disable SSL connection.

Check your serverlog if the connection has been made. Did you change the URL to match your domain? Standard replies are posted to the //discussion// namespace, have a look at that namespace.
