RE: [PHP] PHP Web Mail

Hi all, Thanks for all your info. The hosting company I use gives us POP3 accounts. To be honest I don't have a clue about IMAP- I've only heard the name, and don't understand the way it works. I assume because we only have POP3 accounts, we have to use a POP3 webmail service. We want all our customers to be able to have a webmail service so that they can check their POP3 accounts from any computer round the world. And, of course it has to be in PHP- what other language is there? Thanks again, Ian -----Original Message----- From: John Hicks [mailto:johnlist@gulfbridge.net] Sent: 05 July 2004 18:01 To: I.A.

Most if not all web-based mail clients use IMAP since a web-based (i.e. browser-based) client can't store the received mail on the local computer the way a POP3-based email client does. Besides, the whole reason for using a web-based client is to be able to log in from various computers. Why would you not want to store the mail back on the server the way IMAP does. POP3 delivers the mail to the client and then drops it. --John > -----Original Message----- > From: Jose Leon [mailto:qadram@gmail.com] > Sent: 05 July 2004 12:09 > To: I.A.
