You could take a look at SquirrelMail (www.squirrelmail.org). That uses IMAP (albeit it's own functions rather than PHP's). And if you take a look at the plugins (mailfetch or something), that should give you an idea of how to do POP. In fact check out all the other webmail systems written in PHP. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk /* If you want to know how old a man is, ask his brother-in-law. */
