That's not actually true. The imap functions are an abstraction on top of many different backends, not just imap. You can talk to pop and nntp servers as well, for example, and yes, even a local mailstore with no server involved at all. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
