Re: reading/parsing mbox file

Hi, PHP uses uw-imap's c-client library. This is a very powerful library. If PHP has all API exported, then it should be very easy to do so. Note that you wouldn't even bother parse the mailbox, it would do it for you. I have written an email client using the perl bidings, it is too easy to do so. It is important to note that if you want to execute it from a web interface, you might have a problem with user permissions. In this case, using a imap server is recommended.
