Hi everyone, and thank you all who contributed to the developmnt of this really usefull block.
Could you please help me?
I am using version 1.9.18 and have the following issue:
Initially I had SMTP lines filled with my actul email data, SMTP host, username, password etc. With that I trided couple imes to send email to 44 users, about 8 of them are my test users, but I had lots of error messages and only 5 users, whic are my test users, and error report gave me 39 users as " users who not sent the email" . Then I deleted the SMTP details and tried again. First time the list of users who were not sent e-mails was 22, then I checked the boxes of these 22 users and re-sent the email again, the nest error report gave me 12 users as " users who not sent the email", then I re-sent these 12 guys, then the next report gave me about 6 users. then, 3 then 1. What could be the problem? Please help.
Is there any way to add the Quickmail block to the front page in 2.3.1+? It's not listed under the Add a Block drop down list.
Hi Philip. My mistake!! Everything is Ok.
I would like to ask you: It is possible to do things like this in the email?
Dear --user.lastname--, .....
And use the fields of user table (by example).
thxs a lot for your help!!!
psd.I don't want to use Outlook.
We have Quickmail installed in Moodle 2.3.1. It works for teachers, but students get the following message:
There are no users you are capable of emailing.
More information about this error
Debug info:
Error code: no_users
Stack trace:

line 121 of /blocks/quickmail/email.php: call to print_error()
In the permissions students are allowed to send email with quickmail (and just to be sure I allowed it for all authenticated users, but that did not help). Where does the root of the issue lie?
Yuri:
It looks like you've tried to install quickmail in the mod folder? Please verify that the quickmail directory is in your blocks directory.
Thanks,
Invalid get_string() identifier: 'modulename' or component 'mod_quickmail'. Perhaps you are missing $string['modulename'] = ''; in mod/quickmail/lang/en/quickmail.php?

Some help please!
It's been a while since I've updated this guy on contrib. This version adds backup and restore of email history and fixes the upgrade errors. Thanks.

Does anyone else get the 'no_users' error when trying to send an email?
Hi all. Quickmail is already great but I would need the following possibility and I can't find this in the current version. When using Quickmail within metacourses I only see the individual users that where pulled in via connecting their course as a member of the metacourse. But I would like to see either also or only the connected courses. So in a metacourse it would be possible to mail to all users of some connected courses instead of selecting all the individual users. Is there something like that in Quickmail or is there another block offering something like that?

I am experiencing a problem when groups are set up in a course. If groups have been created in version 2.2, when the users/students go to compose an e-mail using Quickmail they are only able to send an e-mail to their groups members. In 1.9, groups members were able to send e-mail to the entire class, not just members of their group.
Is there a solution or work-around for this issue? Thanks - Mark
Hi,
I think here : https://github.com/lsuits/quickmail you can download the latest version with this bug solved
