Maybe you gave the wrong mailbox (typo error?), or wrong username/password.

$mbox = imap_open("{mail.mydomain.com:143}", "user", "password");

this script work nicely but i need to work on this....

$mbox = imap_open ("{mail.mydomain.com:119/nntp}comp.test", "user", "password");

this script again giving same error since same user name and password is okey and also i could not understand "com.test" what is this? WHERE i get script is in this form

$mbox = imap_open ("{localhost:119/nntp}comp.test", "", "");

Any idea here?

This is an example from the PHP manual, which shows how to connect to a newsgroup - comp.test in this case. Is there an nntp news server running on mail.mydomain.com?
