I might be stupid - but I have seen all sorts of error messages, so a more extensive troubleshooting section would be just perfect!
Right now I see this one:
Ooops POP3 connect: Error [2] [No such file or directory]
Sigh - what does this mean? Where should I make a file or directory???
On my server I was receiving a POP error trying to authenticate if I followed the advice on this page that the login name in the WP Blog by Email settings should be the full user: user@dom.tld
POP3 SEND [PASS testtest] GOT [-ERR Authentication failed.]
However, changing to just the username works great... can anyone verify if this is a 1.5/2.0 difference or if the note here should just be revised or stricken?
This was removed from the main article and needs to be verified and tested:
The routine that reads the e-mail does not (out of the box, version 1.5.1.3) handle single quotes - it actually kills the SQL insert statement. See the Wordpress support forum at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/31498 .
A brief quote from the forum post:
[...]the problem is solved by adding the function addslashes() to the sql statement at around line 49 of functions-post.php to read:
$sql = "INSERT INTO $wpdb->posts
(post_author, post_date, post_date_gmt, post_modified, post_modified_gmt, post_content, post_title, post_excerpt, post_category, post_status, post_name, comment_status, ping_status, post_parent)
VALUES ('$post_author', '$post_date', '$post_date_gmt', '$post_date', '$post_date_gmt', '".addslashes($post_content)."', '$post_title', '$post_excerpt', '$post_cat', '$post_status', '$post_name', '$comment_status', '$ping_status', '$post_parent')";
That is single-quote, double-quote dot addslashes($post_content) dot double-quote single-quote if you have trouble reading the above. This solution worked for my installation.

I am getting DB errors for content that contains ' (single quote) marks.
Has anyone else run into this?
I may be thick but I guess this applies only to the downloaded version, right? If yes, I assume there's no way to post by email on wordpress.com? (daft ain't?) User:Iiar
Suggestion: This page should be moved/renamed to Post via E-mail, since that is what WordPress Version 2.3 (and up, presumably?) call it in the user interface.

...when it's so drop dead easy at wordpress.com? Also, why doesn't this work with individual sites under multisite? I have never gotten this to work on a hosted site!
