Hello there, i use imap to read incoming mail from the the SMTP server. On the live server everythings works as it should. I can use imap_open('/path/to/file', '', ''), to read just one raw-mail. On my test env i can't get this to work. I get the error message: "Can't open mailbox". While on the live server it works and i get the correct resource "resource(42) of type (imap)". I realy don't know what the problem is. Can someone help me with this? Thanks in advance. Mathijs.

I didn't work with IMAP much. So one suggestion could be to check if your dev box is behind a proxy server. If you're using SSL check if it's enabled on your dev box.

the imap_open() only gets a file location. This file containts a raw-mail, so no need for ssl or proxy stuff etc..

It doesn't give a file location. it creates a resource. This resource you can use to retrieve the data. SSL is no option like you said. I would at least check the proxy. I'm behind a proxy here also. And for remote communication i use a proxy class. Maybe somebody else on the list can point you in the right direction.

Ill explain it a bit more better. I have a file with something like the contents at the bottom (without the --). Now on my live server i can use: <?php $imapResource = imap_open('/path/to/file-with-contents-at-bottom', '', ''); ?>. This works like a charm, and i can use that resource to extract the information of that contents of that file. Now if i use that same script on my test server, it doesn't work anymore. And i get the following error: "Warning: imap_open() [function.imap-open]: Couldn't open stream /path/to/file-with-contents-at-bottom in ...". This file is located (for example) in the document_root of the web server. While on the live server the $imapResource is an 'resource(42) of type (imap)'. So i wonder how i can fix this imap_open() problem. Im sorry if i don't understand your response very well if that could be the solution.
