Re: POP3 email -> database

Go to www.freshmeat.net (not a porn site) and search for "pop mail php", the result list looks promising to help you get started. especially number 1, "class.POP3.php3 An RFC 1939 compliant PHP3 class to the POP3 protocol " and number 5, "phpop, Simple PHP Web based POP e-mail reader". Hope this helps.
