imap help

[tomfmason]

I tired the following code. An example straight from the manual.

[code]
<?php
$mailbox = imap_open("{mail.mydomain.net:110/pop3}", "username", "password");
if (!$mailbox) {
    echo "Unable to connect to the mail server";
}
$overview = imap_fetch_overview($mailbox, "2,4:6", 0);
if (is_array($overview)) {
  foreach ($overview as $val) {
      echo "$val->msgno - $val->date - $val->subject\n";
  }
imap_close($mailbox);
?>[/code]

This returns nothing. I know that I have messages in this account. I am able to see the messages fine via Out Look express.

I tried removing the foreach and just placed a print_r($overview); this returned an empty array.

Any suggestions would great.

Thanks,
Tom

You can see it in Outlook Express?
Outlook Express downloads the mail from the mail server to your machine.
So therefor the email will not be in the Mail Box on the server no more

I knew that. I tried to use imap before I set up outlook express. When I look at my mail server log I see that I am loging in and I know that I have messages but they are just not displaying

You need to call the Mail box

Here is my function
[code]
<?php
function getImap() {
global $servername;
global $username;
global $password;
$mbox = imap_open("{".$servername.":110/pop3/notls}INBOX", $username, $password);
return $mbox; }

?>
$mbox = getImap();
$mcheck = imap_check($mbox);
$mnum = $mcheck->Nmsgs;
$overview = imap_fetch_overview($mbox, "1:$mnum", 0);

Slight typo, I think onlyican,
