This means couirer supports a special folder called e.g. Outbox in your Maildir, and every valid mail moved/copied into it will be sent out by sendmail or exim or what mta you have....and sendmail links to ;) volker Curt Zirzow wrote:

Hey, I am creating a new user account page which i want to email a generated password to a users email.(very standard stuff) I am wondering if anyone knows some good resources/tutorials on sending emails using PHP and IMAP? I'm not looking for anything complex. or how to set up full applications. I just need to be able so send out a very basic email to a user. Is this a simple matter?

The IMAP protocol doesn't support the sending of emails, you have to use SMTP. Curt
