    Question *Recieving* emails with PHP, possible? If yes, how?

    Hello PHP experts,
    Can anyone tell me if recieving email could be done in some way(without any third party softwares like squirrelmail, etc. pure PHP)?? Or should I use something like CGI or perl?? This question has been bugging me a lot for quite some time. Any information about this fact would be greatly greatly and greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    No, it's not really possible (unless you particularly wanted to write a POP or IMAP server in PHP). You'd be better off running a normal POP server then accessing the mailbox via PHP.

    Oh, Thanks Twey, do I need a real(physical) server or can I use other servers too(for e.g some free webspace servers)?

    You can use anything with a POP/IMAP server.
