Since PHP can send email it should be able to receive email too, and IMAP > POPn. The larger question is what to replace it with? I have had good experience with the Net_IMAP PEAR package. Its PHP code so if there is an interoperability problem with a particular IMAP server (which is more common problem than with SMTP servers), users can fix it (I found that useful myself). Unfortunately for inclusion in core, its not c.

Since its well maintained, if they're up for being included in PHP, that could be the way to go. Regards -Matt --089e01493d46ccda9f04f434285d--
