POP3 mail handling

Hi,

I have a PHP script that logs into my POP3 account with imap_open() and checks for new mail. What I need it to do is forward a particular message on to another email address (within the same POP3 server) with any attachments that are on the message. I've tried imap_mail_copy() but apparently it only works with IMAP servers.

Has anyone done this before with a POP3 server?

Thanks a lot.
 
The POP3 protocol does not support any operation but retrieval and deletion of messages already in a mailbox.

If you need to forward the message, you must download it, then forward it using PHP's mail() function. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions: TANSTAAFL!
