Error: postie_getemails is very irritating

Although the new feature of emailing admins might be useful to some, it is very irritating that the latest update enabled this setting. I’m getting tons of those error messages since you decided to enable that setting by default — and to set the emails to go to all admins. (In my case, the error is ‘The username and password provided were not accepted for the IMAP server’.)

Any new setting, such as this one, should be disable by default on upgrades.

And, on a multisite installation, the error message doesn’t give any indication of which sub-site has the error. I have had to go through every one of the subsites (30 in my case) and set the ‘send error email’ setting to No, along with changing the notification to go to ‘nobody’.

Not a happy camper – and I can’t imagine the time required on a multisite with lots of subsites.

Please, think about the impact of new settings, and don’t enable them by default. Even after the time I spent changing those settings to off, I am still getting the error message on my multisite. And with no indication of which subsite is causing the problem, I am still fighting the problem.

Yuck on this upgrade.
