Cant connect to POP3 mail server..

[Daggeth]

This is the current code I am using

imap_open ('{mail.pop3.com}INBOX', 'username', 'password');

And it wont connect! I can use the exact same code to connect to other mailboxes. The one I am trying to connect to contains 9000 messages, (Over 20 M😎 could that have something to do with it? When I execute the script, it executes for about a minute and then returns with an error (its not a time-out error).

What's the error?

[Daggeth]

Cannot open stream :mad:

20mb? Jeez...You're probably going to have to contact the admin and have them delete them all.

(Also, in case you're using a free host, they're in the safe mode so scripts won't run.)

Ya, well I can connect via Outlook Express and delete em.. Thats not the problem. Those 9000 messages need to parsed and put into a mysql database :-)

So far I have converted over 40 MB of flatfile for this project :-D and this email problem has me stumped!

Hi,

it might work if you try:

imap_open ('{mail.pop3.com:110/pop3}INBOX', 'username', 'password');

I was just about to come post that I solved my problem 🙂
