This is an addon to the pun_pm extension (1.2.5).
It allows users to get email alerts when they get a private message on your forum.
You can enable or disable this as an admin in Settings -> Features and users can disable it in there profile under Settings.

Please report any bugs and I will do my best to fix them 
I think this extension should be used with caution. For example, a user can send a PM, then "unsend" by changing the message status to 'draft', then send it again. The receiver will have two e-mails. Other shortcomings were described in this topic: http://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/ … ail-alert/
Maybe it's worth to make an additional field in the message table, 'pm_email_notified'. pm_email_notified is 0 by default and becomes 1 when the message is sent first time. E-mail will be sent only once (before setting pm_email_notified to 1), whatever sender does after.
Ok I will look at this again later on when I am done with the next extension I am curently working on.
Shouldn't be to long.
I agree with the above suggestion.
I've subscribed to this topic so please update when a new release is ready.
THANKS VERY MUCH!!!

Doesn't one think, for future reference, that concentrating on one extension at a time and sorting 'quirks' straight away is preferable when releasing an extension, than working on several and getting around to it as and when?
Well I did this one to what I "thought" was ok, As I was not aware that that people could retract there pm's that they send. I thought that once its sent, Thats it.
So I then moved onto another one, So I shall finish this one, Then I will move onto this again later on.
If you don't like it, sod you.
Hahah.
I like it, I love it but if you are going to incorporate what MaffF says then I'll wait before I install it
Glad to see you can take constructive criticism in an orderly manner.
I can indeed
I was just giving you what I thought back, no offence though 
very useful - missed couple of pm's (2wks) here myself that I noticed today... so I deffo see point in email alerts!
added to database
thx!
Using this extension, I'm still getting email notifications even when I have them turned off in my settings.
Installed and testing.
Thanks
Hi, Been busy for a few weeks, But will look at this again later on tonight when I get chance and release a new version with the fixes in it either tonight or tomorrow (GMT)
Smith, I've added a lot of hooks to pun_pm (one of old two hooks is renamed). You may get pun_pm from SVN and use it. Let me now when you finish testing, I'll release a new version.
I installed this extension but i don´t get pm notifications at all? wtf?

pm_email works with pun_pm 1.2.5.
You can modify pm_email for pun_pm 1.2.6 (released 2 days ago):
1. Open manifest.xml of pm_email.
2. Find the following string (line 119):
<hook id="pun_pm_sent_pre_redirect"><![CDATA[3. Change "pun_pm_sent_pre_redirect" to "pun_pm_fn_send_message_pre_redirect".
4. Reinstall pm_email.
Thanks for this workaround. Great!
