Reading Email via IMAP in PHP

Question

I need a recommendation for a PHP library that is capable of reading email via the IMAP protocol. I cannot use the standard PHP: IMAP library because that requires recompiling PHP for the target web server and I don't have access root access to the web server.

Answer 1

There is a PEAR package that implements the IMAP protocol: Net_IMAP

Answer 2

If I were you, I would download Squirrelmail and look at its source code.
