hi all,
ive been given the task of making a script/page in php that will read email on a server.
now ive been looking around the net for some reference details and have come accross some sites that have some details on it.
http://www.php-bloggersplace.org/2007/08/30/php-helps-you-to-read-your-email/
this is a site ive found that shows some details on how to do it and i have got it working to the state where it connects, logs in with a predefined account and then reads how many emails are there.
my task is to write something similar but using my own codes and not stealing "every one elses"
what im really after is reference material on how i can make it connect to any email box using a log in screen and maybe how to make a page that will display and maybe read/write the emails aswell.. if someone can point me in the best direction. there is no "set" time limit on this so i can do loads of reading to understand what everything means
