dovecot - May 2005 - dovecot and php imap_open

Hi

I'm have problems with dovecot and the php imap_open function.

Can't seem to get it to work. I just get a "Aborted login
[127.0.0.1]"
in the dovecot logs.

The php error is:

[client 192.168.1.254] PHP Warning:  imap_open(): Couldn't open stream
{127.0.0.1:110/pop3/notls/norsh/novalidate-cert}INBOX
in /var/www/html/mail/auth.php on line 89, referer: 

[client 192.168.1.254] PHP Notice:  (null)(): Can't open mailbox
{127.0.0.1:110/pop3/notls/norsh/novalidate-cert}INBOX: invalid remote
specification (errflg=2) in Unknown on line 0, referer:

Same type of error with ether imap or pop3. Anyone have a trick around
this?

Thanks for any help.

Regards
Daniel

To me it looks like your trying to connect to a port that's listened by 
Dovecot's POP server, not the IMAP one - please correct me if I'm 
wrong.

What I'd suggest you to do is to change the port number from 110 to 
143. You should change you connection string to something similar like 
this:

<?php
$mbox = imap_open("{127.0.0.1:143/notls/norsh/novalidate-cert}INBOX", 
"user_id", "password");
?>

For further information, see <http://fi.php.net/imap_open>.
