You should have a look at Z-Push 2.0.6 RC - besides several fixes it now has HTML email support for the IMAP backend thanks to one of our contributors!

Thanks for your feedback Sebastian!

For now, I made this tutorial to use only the stable version. But you're right. HTML is not yet supported. I'm currently testing the "fmbiet" version that provides this feature.

I think I will test this RC version shortly. Do you have any idea on when this version can be pushed on stable branch? I will update this how to when this will be done.

been building this z-push system for a while and still cant get my devices to send email. push receive works great, but sending is wierd, the message appears in the sent items folder but the mail itself is never delivered to an inbox, even when emailing myself or other users.

any ideas?

@ Contremaitre,

I didn't have this behavior with my setup. Don't really know why this happen to you? Do you have something in log files? You can maybe try to search for errors into z-push log or postfix log files.

im using multi server setup 1 server for web, mail etc.

i have set it up many times many different ways and always i get it to sync to my mobile etc but when sending it does not work, it says sent and copies the message to the sent folder but the message itself is never sent to the user.

maybe its my device, but i tried it on ipad & my note2 :(

I tried to connect with a blackberry but I was getting the following error. I tried multiple different configurations but to no avail. I was able to connect with other devices with the same settings

I found that php_flag short_open_tag on is not required. I suggest removing that from the documentation as short_open_tag should really not be used anymore.
