Getting your ISP to support IMAP should be your first attempt... After that, you can *PROBABLY* suss out a way to "talk" to the POP server the same way an email client would using http://php.net/fsockopen and finding out what the protocal for POP3 is. You'll need to use http://php.net/fputs and http://php.net/fgets to send/receive the various messages that a POP3 server expects/sends -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
