Is it possible for php to check a pop email account? And obtain a list of emails, store them in database for later use, ect...
tenatively I'm gonna say: yes....
Let me search for the functions....
Here we go: IMAP, POP3, NNTP Functions
You'd start your session using something LIKE:
<?php $mh = imap_open("{mail.domain.com:110/pop3}INBOX", "user_name", "password"); ?>
