According to the documentation, you should simply be able to do: for ($i = 1; $i <= $count; $i++) { $msg = $pop3->get_mail($i); // parse the message as you like $pop3->save2file($msg, 'myfilename.txt'); // or $pop3->save2mysql(a bunch of parameters); } The $msg is returned as an array of strings. You could use the PHP implode() function to reconstruct the array as a single string. But the POP3::save2file() function will do this and save it to a text file if you like. It appears the class doesn't provide any support for parsing the message internally. So that part is up to you. However, you could set up a loop like this: for ($j = 0; $j < count($msg); $j++) { if (strpos($msg[$i], 'Subject: ') == 0) // got the subject line if (strpos($msg[$i], 'From: ') == 0) // got the From: address line } Parsing the subject line and From: address is up to you. But there are plenty of PHP functions to search and parse strings. Paul -- Paul M. Foster -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
