Re: [PHP] is it possible to retrieve email from HOTMAIL

2003-02-19 Thread Abu Musaab

I wonder if it is possible to retrieve emails from an email account
say in hotmail, yahoo, or any other email provider.

silly hah ..?

Thanx in advance.

EXPLAINING MY IDEA (in other words):

I mean making a script that goes to my email in, say Hotmail, and get all 
the messages and store them in a database on my own site. so that when I or 
any subscribed user in the site enters his account, he finds new messages 
directed to him. Of course the email here is an email account on the server 
of the hosting company of the site.

I hope my exlanation does not need an explanation.

I would suggest you look into using sockets to do this. You can open a 
connection to any server with fsockopen() and then send data with 
fgets(). It should be possible because a web browser works on telnet 
port 80, so there is no reason why you should be able to do it in PHP.

The thing you need to know is what kind of conversation the script needs 
to have with the server. Try accessing the site in telnet port 80 and 
see what happens.
