Thanks Buran, > 1. Connection is timing out, and the time limit expired. We're only connecting to locahost here, sorry, forgot to mention. > 2. Firewall is blocking connections The ISP claims to support imap_open for POP3 and ISP, so I would expect him to have sorted that one out. > Other connectivity-related issues (assuming imap_* works correctly) Hmm, imap_alerts() and imap_errors() at least work correctly (I can them before imap_open to make sure they are reset). But other than that I have no idea how to make sure that imap_* works correctly... Cheers Michael -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
