Getting pop3 working with zimbra

2010-07-27T21:22:00.000-07:00

Hello Friends,

After trying out about 7 different scripts to get the pop3 connection working with zimbra. I think so the phpclasses script did the trick.

Here is a small tutorial to get it up and running

Step 1 : Download the script from

Step 2 : Customize the script to just read emails and flush. The author didnt have any function for the same. Hence I have written my own function.

Open - pop3.class.php5.php

public function readFile(&$strMail )
{
echo $strMail ;

}

Step 3 : Make changes to php_test1.php

$strProtocol= "tls";
$strHost = "hostname";
$intPort = 995;
$strUser = "username";
$strPass = "password";
$bAPopAutoDetect = TRUE;
$bHideUsernameAtLog = FALSE;

Step 4 : Try running the script on any linux server. Imap works well on a linux distro.

Step 5 : Incase of an issue. Make the following change in php_test1.php
find the saveToFile in pop3.classes.php5.php
Comment it.
// $this->saveToFile($strPathToFile, $this->getMsg($intMsgNum));
write the line below.

$this->readFile($this->getMsg($intMsgNum));

Things should work just fine.

Let me know if you encounter any issues.
