Send and receive e-mails on the administration panel and optionally receive SMS messages when new messages arrive.

== Description ==

Send and receive e-mail messages on the administration panel and optionally receive SMS messages containing the sender, subject and (part of) the text when new messages arrive.

All e-mail is text based ([HTML](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML "HTML") will be converted to text). Mail can be received by [POP3](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POP3 "POP3") or [IMAP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMAP "IMAP") and sent by [PHP mail](http://www.php.net/mail "PHP mail") or [SMTP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMTP "SMTP"). There is a simple address book for both e-mail addresses and phone numbers. The e-mail address book is populated by your WordPress users by default.

See [Other Notes](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mini-mail-dashboard-widget/other_notes/ "Other Notes") for usage instructions.

**This plugin requires at least PHP 5.2.4.**

Please report any issue you have on the [support page](http://blog.bokhorst.biz/2414/computers-en-internet/wordpress-plugin-mini-mail-dashboard-widget/ "Marcel's weblog"), so I can at least try to fix it.
