moblogging with IMAP
Posted: Mon Nov 07, 2005 5:14 am
I would like to use popfetcher to do moblogging BUT my mail server is IMAP. What option do I have? Please advise.
IMAP sadly requires a larger boast of PHP functions or a specific PHP IMAP extension, which is often not available. IMAP is much more complex than POP3, and IMAP usually does not delete messages upon retrieval like you do with POP3 accounts.
That means, th e popfetcher plugin would need a major rewrite in the mail-retrieval functions.
Thus I advise you to try to convince your provider to offer a POP3 account. That is usually very easy to accomplish.
