IMAP, POP3, and NNTP

Synopsis

Although PHP provides simple outbound emailing capabilities for reading messages from IMAP, POP, NNTP, and a local mailbox, you should add this extension to PHP.

To use it, you must install c-client and compile PHP with the --with-imap[ =DIR ] directive. Additionally, you may use the --with-kerberos[ =DIR ] option to enable Kerberos support and the --with-imap-ssl[ =DIR ] to enable SSL support for the IMAP extension.
