Posting via email, where do I start troubleshooting?

I host a site for a person that does everything via blackberry and wants to email posts to the site. She has sent one post to the designated mailbox, but 24 hours later the post is still not showing. Where do I start checking what is going wrong in the process?

You’re obviously posting it to a mailbox that WordPress is accessing, so check the mailbox that your friend has sent an email to, if the email is still in there then WP hasn’t taken it out and thus your email settings in WP are probably wrong. If the email isn’t in there your friend has probably sent it to the wrong address, not sent it at all or WP may not have read it correctly.

This is just the first step into determining the problem, tell us how you get on.
