Re: why "imap_open " delay a long time ?

it could be happening for many reasons 1) network problems 2) server problems 3) client problems try to get a copy of snort and watch the connection negotiating in real-time, you will be able to see at what point the connection slows, and try to solve the problem from there try a traceroute from you to the server to check for basic network slowness Everything else from there is outside the scope of the list (unless you track it down to an error in php) Mike Yt1 wrote:

hi I have worked with imap functions for a long time . When I use "imap_open" connecting to a imap server ,it always takes a 20 second delay. I use like this : <?php $mbox = imap_open("{202.200.0.8:143}INBOX","user","pass"); imap_close($mbox); ?> why this happen?
