The IMAP extension is not available in all PHP installations.
Furthermore, the POP3 class is more appropriate to access POP3 mailboxes
because it supports POP3 specific directly.
One neat thing it provides is the ability to open messages in a POP3
mailbox like they were files, for instance like this:
$message =
file_get_contents('pop3://user:password@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message_number_here');
You can also use this to parse your messages and extract its details
using in comabination with the MIME parser class:
