For all the people coming here praying for:

1) a dead-easy way to read MIME attachments, or
2) a dead-easy way to access POP3 folders

Look no further.

[EDIT BY danbrown AT php DOT net: Contains a bugfix by "mn26826" on 09-JUN-2010, which fixed the erroneous reference to $imap as the parameter passed to imap_mailboxmsginfo() within the user function pop3_stat(). This was intended to be $connection.]

[EDIT BY visualmind AT php DOT net: Contains a bugfix by "elias-jobview" on 17-AUG-2010, which fixed the error in pop3_list function which didn't have: return $result]

[EDIT BY danbrown AT php DOT net: Contains a bugfix by "chrismeistre" on 09-SEP-2010, which fixed the erroneous reference to $mbox (should be $connection) in the pop3_list() function.]
