    Remembering a username won’t be a problem, as the backend system can handle that.
    The “From” spoof is a good point. I wonder if having a single Key that is only used for new messages can help that issue. Something like Subject: [KEY123-UserB]

    Ultimately, I think this is a fantastic plugin for PM between users. It would be great if it could be leveraged as a messaging systems as well.

    Hi Shamim –

    I had a typo in my previous example. The destination user (UserB) should be in the subject line:

    “[NEW-MESSAGE-UserB] Subject”

    Your POP3 scraping method would just need to grab the username after the “[NEW-MESSAGE- ” and the sender’s username from the POP3 email header. I think this would be a fantastic feature and it would allow backend systems a way to easily communicate with users.

    The same method used for scanning the POP3 inbox can be used for new messages, except with a new subject line like “[NEW-MESSAGE-UserA] Subject”. The “From” email should be a registered user and “UserA” is who the message is being delivered to.

    At the moment, I’m evaluating rather I’ll need to develop something custom but if Front End PM had this ability, it would satisfy 100% my use case. I have a backend app that needs to communicate with my members. Simple updates like “Your Order is in Queue”, and “Someone is assigned to your ticket”..

    This feature would allow other back end systems a nice way to communicate with users.

    I’m not sure why but it started working over night. I toggled “off” to POP3 a few times so maybe that did that trick.

    Now that I have replies working – is it possible to create a new message by sending a NEW email? In other words, is there a way I can email my POP3 address and have that routed to a user’s message?

    Hi Shamim – yes already did that.

    POP3 setup is correct. I even replicated on my desktop client to make sure server, port and SSL config was correct. I also followed your advice on another thread where you said to check the cron job. The pop3 cron job is there, but does seem to work.

    I should also add:

    My email notifications are working fine and expected. I see the token ID in the email but replies are not being routed to the user inbox.
