Note Submitter: Syd Miller ---- If you're looking to access an IMAP server but your server does not have the IMAP-Extension installed (and you aren't an administrator), you'll have a few other options: 2) Access the IMAP Server using your server's Shell (this is assuming that you're Web Server and IMAP Server are (on) the same server). 3) Create your own IMAP-handler using fsockopen(), fgets(), and fputs(). The problem with option '2' is that, while it is possible, it is extremely difficult to accomplish. With that said, you might be better off using a class that has already been written for this purpose. A simple query into a internet search-engine of "PHP IMAP Class"
