imap_open no error

Anon

Im trying to connect to a POP3 server with the imap functions, but nothing happens. No error no nothing.. the browser loads the file but then just quites really with no errors. I know the imap functions are working correctly because I can connect and retrieve messages fine from a different POP3 server. Any ideas why it just dies out? Very lost...

The only thing I gotta ask you is: What's the code in your file? I'm just asking because I wanna check why no errors are coming up.

$server = "mail.somedomain.com";
$port = 110;
$mbox = imap_open("{".$server.":".$port."/pop3}INBOX", "username", "password");
imap_close($mbox);

Now this is ALL im trying to do, I get NO error when i try to connect to a server. Even if the username/pass is wrong no error, nothing.

I know the imap functions are working because I can connect to other mail servers.

Also i just found something really wierd, I used the same code on another machine and it worked fine on the server that I cannot connect to. This is very odd.

Here is a breakdown.

1.) I cannot connect to a paticular mail server.
2.) I can connect to other mail server.
3.) Another Box can connect to the mail server I cannot connect to.
4.) I get NO errors, NONE when I cannot connect to that paticular mail server.

Beyond strange. Should I try recompiling PHP with IMAP?

probably because $port=110 has to be $port="110"

Nope... still same problem. Im going to recompile PHP with IMAP...

Derek,
I'm looking into this as well and will need to download file attachments to store on the webserver.
PHP.net has the following to open pop3 emails:

$mbox = imap_open ("{your.pop3.com:110/pop3}INBOX", "user_id", "password");

which is slightly different from your entry, but still unsure if it will make a difference.
I'll work on it in the next week when I get the chance and let you know.
