Imap_open alternative

[raimis100]

Hey, I have been using this code to access gmail (read mail) from my localhost but it does not work on most of shared hosting servers

 

  $mbox = imap_open ("{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX", "$gmail", "$emailpass")
    or die("can't connect to the email!: " . imap_last_error());                     

  $headers = imap_headers($mbox);
  For ($I = 0; $I < count ($headers); $I ++)
  {
    $thismsg = $headers [$I];
    echo $thismsg;
  }

 

can anybody suggest me email class or something like that which would work on shared hosting ? [/code]

IMAP extensions are probably not installed on the shared servers, to prevent you from by passing email send limits.

Yes, but is there any other email class I could use to read mail ?

 

ALso I do not need to send emails, I just need to read them from my gmail inbox
