Hello,
I would like to access (open) my remote IMAP Mailbox with the
imap_open() function in PHP Version 5.0.4. The Mailbox is located at
the german provider freenet.de.
The imap_open() function does not produce an error message as you can
see below. But when I call the imap_headers() function the warning
message mentioned in the subject as well as below is returned.
Access to the same Mailbox with my mail/news programm gnus works.
I monitored the communication between my computer and freenet while I
was accessing the mailbox using gnus and while I tryed to access it
with the php script. I used tethereal for doing this. There is a
difference between the communication logs that could be
important. Using the php Script a relevant part of the communication
looks like this:
- PHP sends (Frame 21)
Internet Message Access Protocol
00000003 SELECT inbox.fab\r\n
Request Tag: 00000003
Request: SELECT inbox.fab
- freenet sends (Frame 22)
Internet Message Access Protocol
* FLAGS (\Draft \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Recent)\r\n
Response Tag: *
Response: FLAGS (\Draft \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Recent)
- PHP sends (Frame 23)
00000004 LOGOUT\r\n
Request Tag: 00000004
Request: LOGOUT
- freenet sends (Frame 24)
* BYE Courier-IMAP server shutting down\r\n
Response Tag: *
Response: BYE Courier-IMAP server shutting down
Why does PHP send the "Request: LOGOUT" in Frame 23? Is that normal
behaviour? I am asking because the communication between gnus and
freenet differs from the communication shown above. I show you a small
part of this conversation as well.
- gnus sends (Frame 95)
Internet Message Access Protocol
4 SELECT "inbox.fab"\r\n
Request Tag: 4
Request: SELECT "inbox.fab"
- freenet sends (Frame 96)
* FLAGS (\Draft \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Recent)\r\n
Response Tag: *
Response: FLAGS (\Draft \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Recent)
- gnus sends (Frame 98) (Frame 97 does not have anything to do with IMAP)
5 UID SEARCH UNSEEN UNDELETED\r\n
Request Tag: 5
Request: UID SEARCH UNSEEN UNDELETED
- freenet sends
* SEARCH\r\n
Response Tag: *
Response: SEARCH
- and so on ...
Obviously gnus does not send the LOGOUT request after receiving the
FLAGS.
Further information that I consider relevant follows at the end of
this message.
Thanx very much in advance for any hints.
Greetings, Fabian Müller
