Thanks for them much for developing this plug-in... we are using it on our whale watching blog to showcase images from the daily trips.

Using Postie to be able to email posts over a HF radio link.

This solution is perfect since my client - is never on a desktop but is always on his smart phone - even while on the boat. He needed an easy way to post the whale sightings of the day. I tried setting him up with the mobile version of wordpress to make posts but he got very frustrated. Looks like having him simply email from his phone instead will work great - Thanks for building it.!

I love using Postie to post via email. Makes things so much easier

IMHO, while travelling, I believe, Postie is the best option for WordPress blog so far. WordPress apps on any mobile platform do not work well, plus emails work best on bad connections which is always the case.

Great plugin, super support! Thanks!

Works and great support. Was able to setup but had an issue getting it to work. I sent a help email to author and got prompt response. He explained how it worked and got me to understand it was my problem with the setup.

Great Plugin to post by sending an email. Support is good Plugin works great! I needed it to cobble together a mingle forum with a mail poet newsletter It's working perfectly.

perfect! ... many settings for customizing. Works fine, setup needs some testing of the parameters, but even with included debug-feature it's easy :-)

Grande. Great plugin, working 1000%

This is exactly what I wanted. Choosing post types, categories, and tags are great.

I was looking for a plugin that takes an e-Mail, writes a post and sets the first image as featured image for that new Post.
with POSTIE it worked perfectly in 2 minutes.

It very nice product. Thanking you for developing it.
