maexus Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I have searched and searched and have seen various results but nothing to what I need. What I would like to do is to use raw sockets to jump into an inbox and the grab the emails. I have seen some posts about imap() but the host I'm on doesn't offer this. Plus, I wouldn't learn anything going that route. Does anyone have anything that will point me in the right direction?

kenrbnsn Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 You can use the IMAP functions to read POP mail. You can not read email by connecting to an SMTP port, since that's for outgoing mail.

maexus Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 PHP needs to be compiled with imap enabled for it to work right? Pretty sure my host doesn't offer this.
