Reading Email via IMAP in PHP

I need a recommendation for a PHP library that is capable of reading email via the IMAP protocol. I cannot use the standard PHP: IMAP library because that requires recompiling PHP for the target web server and I don't have access root access to the web server.

Take a look at the Context.IO PHP Library: https://github.com/contextio/PHP-ContextIO

Context.IO makes your IMAP store available via a REST interface. Really easy to use and the price is right.

I don't know any implementation of IMAP for PHP without using PHPs functions. Maybe you want to use Perl for this: http://search.cpan.org/~conteb/IMAP-Client-0.13/lib/IMAP/Client.pm

Or use a CLI Client when you're on a linux server: http://delog.wordpress.com/2011/05/10/access-imap-server-from-the-command-line-using-openssl/

If I were you, I would download Squirrelmail and look at its source code.

There is a PEAR package that implements the IMAP protocol: Net_IMAP
