I think the errflg is coming from IMAP ... I have found several bits of C code related to IMAP (and seemingly nothing to do with php) that reference 'errflg' - I have also found that a value of 2 for errflg can mean anything from 'invalid mbox format' to 'authentication failed' (not very helpful!) what do these functions return for you?: imap_errors(), imap_alerts(), imap_last_error() > >
