  I set my wordpress account to use blog by e-mail (not vladimir90.wordpress.com, my blog at website, not yet available, I’m still testing it) and I set mail server to: pop.gmail.com, put correct e-mail user and password, and even set correct port for Gmail’s server, but when I send some e-mail to address, it isn’t posting…

  Is there any problem with gmail or with my hosting (logical-host), how can I check/fix this?

  Thanks in advance,
  Vladimir

  You can’t blog by email. But almost – you need your mobile phone as a go-between. You can email yourself and send it to your own mobile phone. And you can blog from your mobile. So one just have to convert or copy/paste the email content. This is the mobile phone url: http://m.wordpress.com/

  They might have other options for selfhosted blogs over at WordPress.org.

  Not on free account, I meant on wordpress.org account. There’re option Writing > By email and you can set pop3 server and email address from which you upload post

  Then you need to ask over at http://wordpress.org/support/ as the software is different.
