Thanks for offer your help. I will try to explain in details what I did. First of all, on file php.ini I removed the comments for the line below: extension=php_imap.dll After that, I have followed the Gmail instructions to enable POP in my Gmail account as below: 1. Log in to your Gmail account. 2. Click Settings at the top of any Gmail page. 3. Click Forwarding and POP. 4. Select Enable POP for all mail. 5. Choose "Keep Gmail's copy in the inbox" when messages are accessed with POP. When I run the simple code below: <? $mbox = imap_open('{pop3.gmail.com:995/pop3}INBOX<http://pop3.gmail.com:995/pop3%7DINBOX>', '<my_login>@ gmail.com', '<my_pass>'); print_r(imap_alerts()); print_r(imap_errors()); $num_mens_not_read = imap_num_recent($mbox); imap_close($mbox); ?> I get these errors: Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream {pop3.gmail.com:995/pop3}INBOX<http://pop3.gmail.com:995/pop3%7DINBOX>in c:\arquivos de programas\easyphp1-8\www\index.php on line 2 Array ( [0] => Host not found (#11001): pop3.gmail.com ) Warning: imap_num_recent(): supplied argument is not a valid imap resource in c:\arquivos de programas\easyphp1-8\www\index.php on line 5 Warning: imap_close(): supplied argument is not a valid imap resource in c:\arquivos de programas\easyphp1-8\www\index.php on line 6 And, when I run the simple code below: <? $mbox = imap_open('{pop.gmail.com:995/pop3}INBOX<http://pop.gmail.com:995/pop3%7DINBOX>', '<my_login>@gmail.com', <my_pass>'); print_r(imap_alerts()); print_r(imap_errors()); $num_mens_not_read = imap_num_recent($mbox); imap_close($mbox); ?> I get these errors: Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream { pop.gmail.com:995/pop3}INBOX<http://pop.gmail.com:995/pop3%7DINBOX>in c:\arquivos de programas\easyphp1-8\www\index.php on line 4 Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in c:\arquivos de programas\easyphp1-8\www\index.php on line 4 Notice: (null)(): POP3 connection broken in response (errflg=2) in Unknown on line 0 This second code looks like ok for me, but for some reason I get this time out. Do you have any idea what's going on? Did I miss some configuration? Thanks in advance.
