Description
int imap_open (string mailbox, string username, string password [, int
flags])
Returns an IMAP stream on success and false on error. This
function can also be used to open streams to POP3 and NNTP
servers, but some functions and features are not available
on IMAP servers.
A mailbox name consists of a server part and a mailbox path on
this server. The special name INBOX stands for the current users
personal mailbox. The server part, which is enclosed in '{' and
'}', consists of the servers name or ip address, a protocol
secification (beginning with '/') and an optional port specifier
beginnung with ':'. The server part is mandatory in all mailbox
parameters. Mailbos names that contain international characters
besides those in the printable ASCII space have to be encoded
with imap_utf7_encode().
The options are a bit mask with one or more of the following:
OP_READONLY - Open mailbox read-only
OP_ANONYMOUS - Dont use or update a
.newsrc for news (NNTP only)
OP_HALFOPEN - For IMAP and NNTP names, open a connection but
dont open a mailbox
