Hi, I am getting this fault :
BuddyPress Reply By Email cannot initialize. Please navigate to “BuddyPress > Reply By Email” to fill in the required fields and address the webhost warnings.
BP Reply By Email Settings
Error: Unable to connect to inbox – Can’t connect to gmail-imap.l.google.com,993: Connection timed out
and in the settings area for it, it just keeps returning to this page reporting the problem
any advice appreciated ,
Mark
Hi Mark,
Your host might be blocking port 993:

Try getting your host to unblock that port.
Also, as mentioned in the documentation, if you are using a shared host, you probably won’t be able to use Reply By Email.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
