Anyone know how to connect to an e-mail account on a Lunarpages hosted account? I've had no luck with this code:

$mbox = imap_open("{mail.MYDOMAINNAME.com}INBOX", "EMAILADDRESS@MYDOMAINNAME.com", "test")
     or die("can't connect: " . imap_last_error());

And the response to my support ticket was to seek help here in the forums.

I want to be able to connect to a mailbox & retrieve messages and attachments, but so far I'm stuck at Step 1.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks scanman, but no luck with that either. I'm still receiving:
Warning: imap_open() [function.imap-open]: Couldn't open stream {localhost:143}....

Works on my LP account. Have you tried the examples at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imap-open.php ?

I've tried every one of the PHP.net examples with no luck. Maybe something's wrong with my e-mail account?

I got it. I had to add the /notls flag to the end of the host. This works:

$mbox = imap_open("{localhost:143/notls}INBOX", "EMAILADDRESS@MYDOMAINNAME.com", "test");

Now I have to get the rest of the script working!

Thanks for the help, scanman!
