I want to integrate a forum with a mailing list. So users can choose to respond/view messages by email or online.

I want the mailing list to be database driven (preferably mysql).

What is the best way to do this?

Is this still the best solution?

I'm trying the listhandler and mailhandler solution.

I'm getting an error when I try to test the connection to the mailbox. I can download emails using port 995 and POP (to my Thunderbird client), but in drupal I still get this error:

* warning: imap_open() [function.imap-open]: Couldn't open stream {mail.energyjustice.net:995/pop3}INBOX in /home/energy/public_html/new/modules/mailhandler/mailhandler.retrieve.inc on line 19.
* POP3 connection to mail2forum_send@energyjustice.net failed.

Could the fact that my SSL certificate for my website isn't verified have anything to do with this problem?

Ports 25, 110, and 143 also don't work.

Adding "/notls"
to Extra Commands fixed it.

Trying to do the same. Want to enable posting to forums via email. How have you managed to get the forum connected to the email account? Or have you? I have my email accounts working, mailhandler has connected to the email accounts/mailing lists after I changed the server to "localhost", but I cannot post to forums via email. What settings have you used to get this working?
