PHP imap_open() host?

[jspector]

I am using this code to attempt to open my mailbox:

$mbx = imap_open("{69.93.86.2:2095/pop3}INBOX",$acct,$pw);

The script chugs away and eventually times out. Does anyone know the proper host string to use when connecting to a hostgator mailbox?

I have gotten this to work on other servers, but it's always a lengthy trail and error process and all I'm getting is errors.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Does anyone know the answer to this?

6 and 4 years after the above posts, none is probably in need for the answer anymore, but just in case someone bumps onto this topic after a search (like me) and still looking for the answer... I finally got it to work in PHP using this:

imap_open("{localhost:143/notls}INBOX", "username@domain.tld", "your_password")

The above is for accessing it like IMAP, POP will probably work too, didn't test that.

do yea one better:

PHP Code:

<?php

function imap_purge($IP,$user,$pass,$mode){


    $mbox = @imap_open("{".$IP.":143}", $user, $pass);

if($mbox){
    $folders = imap_listmailbox($mbox, "{".$IP.":143}", "*");
    echo "<h1>Headers in INBOX for $user</h1>\n";
    for ($i = 1; $i <= imap_num_msg($mbox); $i++){

        $header = imap_headerinfo($mbox, $i, 80, 80);
        $subject= $header->fetchsubject;
        $date = $header->udate;

        $udate=time();

        //number of days to purge after
        $purge_after = 120;

        $messageBody = imap_body($mbox, $i);

        $age = ($udate - $date)/86400;
        echo  $i.") ".$subject." - Age: ".number_format($age,0)."<br>";

        if($age > $purge_after and $mode == "A"){
            imap_delete($mbox, $i);
            echo "Delete old message $i<br>";
        

        }

        
        //delete all spam, even if new.
        if(strstr($subject,"{Spam?}")){
            if($mode == "A")
            imap_delete($mbox, $i);
            echo "Delete spam: $i<br>";
        }

        //if clear mode, delete all mail
        if($mode == "C")
           imap_delete($mbox, $i);

    }

    //except in test mode, expunge the delete files.


    if($mode != "T")
       imap_expunge($mbox);

    imap_close($mbox);
  } else {
  
   echo "IMAP Access denied<br>";
   
   }

}

//MODES:  T = Test mode, A = Run mode, C = Clear all messages in box.  Run mode delete messages, test mode lists messages.

imap_purge("211.211.211.211","glenn@buggycode.com","phenox","A");
