Well, I never tried it, but theoretically you need to manually connect to the pop3 socket to get to it, because PHP doesn't have anything built-in, so it has to use the lowest level possible - a plain-text socket connection to the server.. I might be wrong and stuff, you checked the imap functions ? in my opinion there are some pre-made classes out there for that which you could use it yourself, just will need to make a little search.say imap_open() well never used it practically, but try to search php.net through google, i mean the whole site and maybe you will find some good comments and links.

I am not really sure wha you mean about recieving email I mean you do have an email client, do you mean you want to use PHP to act as an email client on your webserver?

Here is a link to the PHP manual concerning IMAP, NNTP and POP3 http://us2.php.net/imap you might find what you want there.

Yea, he wants to create something like a web based panel for getting and sending email written in php, at least that is what I thought. but as he said, "he is writing a mail checker" well, what ever he is up to, he told the problem he has

Hold it. I've read that article before your post. But they require to config something from the server. I usually, I don't have permission to do that. The library also require a PHP-recompile, which seem to be impossible. I need an library that can run directly from PHP code. Inshort, a PHP script. Platform Independent
