accessing pop3 accounts using imap_open

[digging_out]

Anyone have any experience using imap_open to access pop3 accounts?

I want to create a webmail utility so that my user's can access their email. I create a pop3 account for them using the Control Panel, then they can log in and check their mail.

I am hung up on the username and password.

For example, in Control Panel I created a mail account called webmaster with some password.

To connect to the mailbox:

$inbox = @imap_open("{" . "mail.mydomain.com" . ":110/pop3}INBOX", $username, $passwd);

The error I get is
[0]: Username/Password Mismatch...
[1]: POP3 connection broken in response.

However, if for the username and password I use the username and password that I use to access Control Panel (the ones associated with my account) then it logs in just fine, however then I can't check for email for a specific user (such as webmaster, or admin, or abuse, etc).

Any suggestions?

Use the full email address as the username for anything other than the default account.

Also, JPC supports IMAP now, too, so if you are using the PHP IMAP functions, you might want to give your users full IMAP support (such as acess to folders). Of course that means more proramming, but its a suggestion, possibly a for future idea.

Jason,

You rock. Thanks for the help. The mail script I was using was specifically disallowing usernames with "@", so where I thought the error was coming from imap_open, the script was not even calling it.

I stripped out the fluff and used the full username (with @domain.com) and it worked perfectly.

Thanks!
