imap/ssl

Hi,

I was just wondering if there is a way to connect to the secure imap
server (port 993) without having --with-imap-ssl option turned on. I
have --with-imap and --with-openssl and recompiling php is not an option
(I'm not the server owner). Any suggestions/links are appreciated.

Thanks,

Marko

yes and no, depends on your skill level, you could just open a socket and
handle the data yourself, so you would have to write your own mail functions

oh yea, another way is to write a tunnel server that listens on port x and
connects to port 993 on real server, thus allowing you to use std imap
functions, you can write the tunnel server in php

That is what I feared. Essentially, what you're saying is "no way". :) I
do have the skill, but not the time. Anyone know of any useful links?

Thanks CountScubula,

Marko

another funky was is to write the script on another server that supports it,
and make calls to that script from the client server.
