Introduction

These functions enable you to operate with the IMAP protocol, as well as the NNTP, POP3 and local mailbox access methods.

Be warned, however, that some IMAP functions will not work correctly with the POP protocol.

Warning

The IMAP extension is not thread-safe; it should not be used with ZTS builds.

For all the people coming here praying for:

1) a dead-easy way to read MIME attachments, or
2) a dead-easy way to access POP3 folders

Look no further.
