Accessing IMAP server from PHP fails

[orangechicken]

I'm trying to access the darkorb server from a PHP page (via imap_open).

It fails every time (I believe it causes a network error - lynx says something about that and the ISA Proxy at work here says 64 - Host not available).

I'm using the test.php from IMP 3.2.

I've tried connecting via SSL (and in fact, that worked for about 14 hours and then mysteriously stopped) with /imap/ssl/novalidate-cert (because of a self-signed cert).

Right now I'm just trying {localhost/pop3:110}INBOX and it fails the same way.

The admins are fighting me saying they can't fix the issue.

Horde from inside CPanel (over port 2082) connects via imap_open just fine, nothing on port 80 does.

Help!!

Can anybody provide any input? I'm *real* desperate.

Have you found a solution? We have exactly the same problem since a few days...

Thanks

Hi,

Trying using
// To connect to a POP3 server on port 110 on the local server, use:
$mbox = imap_open ("{localhost:110/pop3}INBOX", "user_id", "password");


// To connect to an SSL IMAP or POP3 server with a self-signed certificate,
// add /ssl/novalidate-cert after the protocol specification:
$mbox = imap_open ("{localhost:995/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert}", "user_id", "password");

Regards,
Vijay
