What is a good php class for POP and/or IMAP email?

Question

Recommendations please (from experience ideally, but anything is useful). Searching Google gives me too many choices, and I would like to know if there is a good one people use.

Answer 1

I've always used Zend_Mail.

If you are not using a framework you could get that piece of code from the source.

Answer 2

Pear has some mail classes:

Answer 3

I prefer to use PHPMailer class. It allow to send email as from your own domain and from remote account (ex.: gmail.com). Attachments, HTML messages, embedded images and many more features. Enjoy! :)

Answer 4

I have been very happy with SwiftMailer - its quite powerful and has batch sending features.

Answer 5

I like XpertMailer and it has also a good MIME class in case you need manipulate/create/modify body emails
