POP3 Access

SumitGupta

Hi,

I am writing a PHP Script that is connecting to the POP3 Mail account and check the mail . This works fine for me without any problem until i Start getting this Error

InUse Another Session is open.

I am using a POP3 Class that i get from this forum it self.
This POP3 Class uses the socket (fsockopen) to connect to the mail server. Than Send the User and Pass command and return server output as usual.
Now My Question is that..

How can I cancel the Other POP3 Connection. through my PHP Script. I want my script to make that session close so that it open new session from within.

Anyhelp or other work around is also a great help

To end a pop3 session you have to issue a QUIT command.

HI,

When does i need to send the QUIT command. I have start my Session for pop3 access as it gives me In-Use Error for that account.

😕

At the end of every session. It won't help once you have an "in use" error, but it should prevent it from happening again.

If you're currently locked out (this error persists) then you should contact your system administrator to get it fixed. I would assume it'll time out on its own though.

Hi,

I am using the QUIT on logout from my application but still some time i get account in use error.

Yes there is cron job in perl does the same as my php but i have stop that perl script as well but still it happen a lot.

Actually I am working on bounce mail parsing software. It parse th bounce mail. Usually the email account given to this software is not used by Mailing software like outlook etc. and created only for this purpose.

Any suggestion.??? or work around that ensure i get access to all mail all time for the given account
