I attached a screenshot of what I enabled. I did a search on Drupal for a "testing" module I did not find one posted. Thank you for your help if I am missing a module could you post the link(s).

I found the testing module... I was not able to enable it I received this message.

The testing framework requires the PHP open_basedir restriction to be disabled. Check your webserver configuration or contact your web host. (Currently using PHP open_basedir restriction Enabled)

I am using 000.webhost.com I am not sure how to disable the open_basedir (I am not that experienced)

I figure I will install this on my local host later this evening or try another development environment called kodingen.com unless it's easy to disable this on 000.webhost.com set up that I am using?

I attached another pic after running a search in the PHP link that I found in the control panel.

Thank you for helping me out I am not that experienced (Drupal & PHP) like I mentioned, but I have built a module and have good knowledge of the feeds module as I have been teaching myself for the last 4 months about 12 hours a day.

I now have testing enabled using a kodingen.com account set-up I just installed. Now I am getting the attached error

I think the attached png image has my answer? but I am not sure...?...I have read some of your older posts to other users on this subject, but it's still difficult for me to grasp. Before I really explore this (info in the attachment) I wanted to run it by you to verify this is my answer and if so I will follow the instructions to complete my configuration unless you tell me otherwise.

I do not know how to find the php.ini file w/ in Kodingen. So I have been working again with 000.webhost I have been searching and reading and configuring, but I still can not get a connection.

First I checked the report to be sure the IMAP was enabled and it was. Then I imported the script and ran a test and it did not give any message at all the Ajax wheel spun for a wile and then ended. So I then clicked edit and looked at the settings and that was helpful because I was setting it up wrong. Next I saved the configuration again and received a error message attached.

I assume it is a 000.webhost configuration setting problem? I think a password somewhere is killing the connection? Anyway I am very grateful for your help and I think if I were using a paid host I may not have this issue. By the way my project that I am building is a tool for handicapping NFL Football and I hope to have it ready for next season. It's called The Blizzard of Odds it is not a betting site just one to help users during halftime pick bets using many variables. Half-time Harry will be the "wizard" who advises users on four choices per game/event (over,under,home or away) He (my system will one day) ranks those actions and users subscribe to his advise or not all records are kept and hopefully if I program it correctly he will be right more than wrong? Most of the other info I found as XML or RSS feeds.

Meanwhile I am using Basketball to practice my workflow and as it turns out it's not very easy to get free scores off the internet as XML or RSS feeds, But I found a free site http://www.sportsalert.com/register/ that emails the scores this is why I need to import the content into Drupal from an email. Earlier today I created a new Gmail account and found a site called https://freemyfeed.com/free that turns the email into an XML source on the internet and I successfully queried emails from that configuration, but it only works with Gmail and in the future may need to make it more secure. I suspect I will be using Mailhandler in the future for this when I pay for hosting. Again I am still learning and I am very appreciative of your help hopefully I can program this and learn (that actually is my main motivation) I have had many cool people help me here on Drupal... Have a great day and I hope to here from you in the future.

I will try this configuration tomorrow.

Lets assume I am successful connecting Mailhandler are there settings for importing the emails? I would like to filter them in? Because my alert service emails me many different kinds of emails and every one I want to receive...some are duplicate...some are more important than others... some are time sensitive...etc..all have distinct characteristics most important are the half and final scores. I am writing my own module called bliz_2_util to work some of this out. Is it possible to, "plug it into Mailhandler as custom filter?" I have other ideas here but I am trying to keep this short.

After Drupal captures the content my plan is to automate stuff by using Feeds, Rules and Flag for example. I feel I can further sort things out using modules and configuration rather than code. I have done all this updating using Feeds, but not as an automated process. Drupal is very good at managing data like this and I will try use Rules, Flag and Views to Handel a lot of the functionality. As I write my module I am thinking how to better provide so I can lessen the code.

My last resort is using the Data module and MySql querying.

On an unrelated issue I had to post this on a different problem http://drupal.org/node/1445346

Thank you for responding I have learned a lot since then as I spend most of my time learning. I am now using my paid host and my Drupal rarely crashes and the 000.webhost does crash and I am sure that was the problem anyway I am able to use google mail and https://freemyfeed.com/free and I think that will work good for me now because it helps me sort the incoming info using feeds and rules. I am weak writing PHP code, but have been studying and I really appreciate your help thank you very much for checking on my situation.
