PHP email

[mufka]

Is there a way, with PHP, to fetch email from a POP or IMAP server? I know how to send, just want to see if I can receive.

yes, there is. look at the imap_* functions.

I tried to use one of the examples in the above mentioned link, but I'm not getting anything. The code is:

<?php
$mbox = imap_open("{imap.example.org:143}", "username", "password");

echo "<h1>Mailboxes</h1>\n";
$folders = imap_listmailbox($mbox, "{imap.example.org:143}", "*");

if ($folders == false) {
    echo "Call failed<br />\n";
} else {
    foreach ($folders as $val) {
        echo $val . "<br />\n";
    }
}

echo "<h1>Headers in INBOX</h1>\n";
$headers = imap_headers($mbox);

if ($headers == false) {
    echo "Call failed<br />\n";
} else {
    foreach ($headers as $val) {
        echo $val . "<br />\n";
    }
}

imap_close($mbox);
?>

I changed the hostname, username and password, but I just get "Call failed". I can access the mailbox using SquirrelMail so I know IMAP works on the server.

Solved my own problem. Needed to use /notls.
