Authenticating against IMAP

Hi, I'm resending this - for the first and final time - because this project is due very soon, and any advice on IMAP (the last step) is appreciated. I've never undertaken an IMAP authentication before, so I don't know what to expect just yet. Perhaps it's obscenely easy, and y'all are laughing at me. :) Either way, hey, email me or the list... Thanks. Hi, Right now I'm running a survey in which we only allow voters to vote once, and we want to authenticate their username/password against an IMAP server. Certain users, you see, can log back into the site to view the stats, others are just told "you already voted" (their username is stored in the "votetabulations" database). Does anyone have any good links to code, a tutorial - anything - on PHP and authenticating via an IMAP server? I have a simple form with two username/password text boxes... Any help is appreciated. Email me privately if this question is too stupid to bother the others. :) Thanks. -- Best wishes, Erik J.
