I'll look into it, but I cannot promise you anything.

No, Mail does not have any logs.
I've been thinking adding logs to Mail but some actions are not as easy to log as others, for example, as you said log when a student view a mail would be interesting but there's a problem. Mail allows users to mark all messages as read when someone send them a mail, because notifications contains full message.
There are other problems like when users view a mail with references, then we have to log every mail as read or only the first mail on screen?
I hope logs will be available in Mail sooner than later.

My interest it's just for the second possibility: the capability for the administrative staff (not teachers/not students) to contact with groups of enrolled users at any course by this way.
Thanks and greetings.
Excellent addition to Moodle! Does this plugin have any actions show up in Logs? We are looking for something that will show when mail sent was viewed by a student.

What do you mean by being Admin or Manager?
If you want to access other people mails, you'll need to use 'login as' functionality.
If you want to send/receive mails from other people being Admin, it's not possible, all mails are tied to courses, therefore you need to be enrolled first. Maybe it's a feature to be add for next release.
Cheers,

I've been installing the version 1.8 in two Moodles 3.0 and everything runs so well.
One more question, please: Is there any way/trick to use this plugin being Admin or Manager?
Thanks again.
I've been testing Mail 1.7.2 in Moodle 3.0 and it's fully functional, there are a couple of deprecated functions that I've had to change.
This week I'll release a couple of new Mail versions, there will be one for Moodle 2.8 and other for Moodle 2.9/3.0.
Cheers,
Marc
I'll wait for it.
Let me a few days to test it.
As far as I know, Moodle 3.0 it's not much different than Moodle 2.9, therefore I'm 99% sure 1.7.2 version will work with Moodle 3.0.
Sorry, but it's not possible to do what you're asking.
You're not the first person asking that students can only contact with teachers. It's a functionality I hope will be available in next release.
Is there a version for Moodle 3.0?
first to say, this is the most elegant solution for messaging inside Moodle and I would like to implement it in my environment, but we have unusual request, our students not supposed to contact each other but only contact with teacher. That means that we need selector (filter) in "add recipient" for students lock on "Teacher" only. Please can you give me solution for that. Thank you all in advance, and I must say it is pretty urgent.
Maybe your course is configured as "Separate group" and you and your teachers are in different groups.
when i try sending mails to teachers i get no recipient ...
Me alegra que te funcione finalmente.
Tu problema viene debido a la traducción que tienen en los servidores de Moodle del plugin Mail, és una versión antigua que no contiene las cadenas para recibir el mensaje completo, les he reportado y corregido la cadenas incorrectas.
Estoy a la espera que me validen los cambios en el paquete español, cuando los acepten, si tenéis activada la opción de descargar automáticamente los paquetes de idiomas de Moodle, el paquete español tendrá las cadenas correctas.
