trouble opening an email box using PHP

[Melville]

I am trying to access an email box in my code using the PHP command:

imap_open('{' . $cfg['host'].':' . $cfg['port_protocol'].'}' . $cfg['mailbox'],$cfg['account'],$cfg['password']);

The variables in the $cfg array are defined. The mailbox exists, and the account and password are correct.

$cfg['host'] is defined as 'localhost'

$cfg['port_protocol'] is defined as '110/pop3'

So the above command should resolve to:

imap_open("{localhost:110/pop3}INBOX","[e-mail]","password");

When I execute the .php file, I get the error:

Could not open mailbox : Connection failed to localhost,110: Connection refused

The only things I can see going wrong here are the port protocol (110/pop3) and the host (localhost).

Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Mel

From the PHP manual example

// To connect to a POP3 server on port 110 on the local server, use:
$mbox = imap_open ("{localhost:110/pop3}INBOX", "user_id", "password");

Seems you have it the wrong way around not sure if thats going to make much difference as I dont really do much with IMAP.

Thank you, Planetsim. I am not sure what you mean that I had it the wrong way around, but I have played with things a bit, like including the domain name in the user_id and not. Nothing has worked yet. I have a posting into my ISP to see if there is anything funky on their end. No news yet. I will keep trying.
