Meaning your blog posts will be posted in plain text \u2014 which isn\u2019t ideal for engaging website visitors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though, with the free plugin<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/postie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Postie<\/a>, you can easily add blog posts to WordPress using email and configure plugins settings to ensure acceptable formatting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"#Setting-up-Postie\">Setting up Postie Plugin<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Testing-Postie\">Testing Postie Plugin<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-info\">Enjoy fast, secure hosting optimized for your WordPress site with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/wordpress-hosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WordPress Hosting plans<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"WordPress-via-Email-with-Postie\">Add Blog Posts to WordPress via Email with Postie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you can use the Postie plugin, you must first<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/email\/creating-email-account\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> create an email address <\/a>to be used <em>solely for posting<\/em>. This note is very important since any email sent using that particular email address will be automatically posted to your WordPress website.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In relation, it\u2019s also important to create a unique email address that will be hard for others to guess. Consider creating an email with random characters instead of using a name or business-related word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, let\u2019s install, activate, and configure the plugin in your WordPress dashboard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Setting-up-Postie\">Setting up Postie<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"article_list wp-block-list\"><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/logging-into-wordpress-dashboard\/\" target=\"_blank\">Login to your WordPress Dashboard<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/plugins\/install-wordpress-plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\">install and activate<\/a> Postie.<\/li><li>Navigate to <strong>Postie&gt;Mail Protocol<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Choose whether you want to use <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/email\/change-pop3-account-to-imap-or-imap-to-pop3\/#pop3-vs-imap\" target=\"_blank\">IMAP or POP3 <\/a>and if you want the connection to be made over SSL.
