    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.

    <?php

    [EDIT BY danbrown AT php DOT net: Contains a bugfix by "mn26826" on 09-JUN-2010, which fixed the erroneous reference to $imap as the parameter passed to imap_mailboxmsginfo() within the user function pop3_stat().  This was intended to be $connection.]

    [EDIT BY visualmind AT php DOT net: Contains a bugfix by "elias-jobview" on 17-AUG-2010, which fixed the error in pop3_list function which didn't have: return $result]

    [EDIT BY danbrown AT php DOT net: Contains a bugfix by "chrismeistre" on 09-SEP-2010, which fixed the erroneous reference to $mbox (should be $connection) in the pop3_list() function.]

    it seems that in new PHP versions, $ssl must be specified even if no ssl is used - I got it working for POP3 only after adding /notls (honour some post I found somewhere)

    Because I don't know regular expressions, I hacked the mail_parse_headers() to properly get the last line from the header string:

    <?php
    function mail_parse_headers($headers)
    {

            $headers=preg_replace('/\r\n\s+/m', '',$headers);
            $headers=trim($headers)."\r\n"; /* a hack for the preg_match_all in the next line */
            preg_match_all('/([^: ]+): (.+?(?:\r\n\s(?:.+?))*)?\r\n/m', $headers, $matches);
        foreach (    $matches[1] as $key =>$value) $result[$value]=$matches[2][$key];
        return(    $result);
    }
    ?>
