Re: [Phpgroupware-users] email app - stuck in imap -- want pop3

[Chris Weiss]

felamimail doesn't support IMAP at all.  It's purpose is to be only an IMAP 
client.

However, email does/should, but doesn't seem to work for either, but it does 
give
pop3 like errors.

class.mail_dcom_pop3.inc.php is supposed to provide php_imap compatable 
functions
where possible even if it is using the socket class.  Makes coding to use the 
email
class much easier because the class takes care of what needs to be done for 
pop3,
imap, or whetever.  class.msg_pop3.inc.php only worked if you had php_imap
installed and was a pain to use.

If at all possible, I encourage you to switch to IMAP.  It's faster, more 
flexable,
and much better suited for web based email.  If you /must/ have POP3, then you 
have
to do some debuging.  Our main email maintainer, Angles, has taken a sabaticle 
of
indefinate time.
