[Continue Reading...]I scratched my head over this for a couple of hours and hope that someone else can benefit from my sore scalp! Imap mail functions for PHP are very easy to use and are quite quick. They can even be used for normal POP3 connections without certain IMAP functions. I have used them exclusively in a lot of my email scripts. However, almost every installation is different. If you are using imap_open function to open your mailbox, various servers will have different headaches with the function. The one surefire way to get around those headaches (when opening POP3 mailboxes) is to use the code below with your modifications. Basically, you have to specifically request a non-SSL connection everytime or your script MIGHT bork. Also, specifying INBOX saves headaches in many cases. $mbox = imap_open( “{yourmailserver.com/pop3:110/notls}INBOX”, “username”, “password” );

The main article is written by John Udell and he mentions that the code in his article is written for Rhino which is Mozilla’s Java based Javascript interpreter. This technology is very cool and has a lot of possibilities, both incredibly useful and sinister. I can think of a bunch of exploits that could be very harmful, but I have not looked at the code in-depth.

Well, for the diehard FF lovers (like me) they could be useless. However, for the IE crowd that wants to use FireFox but somehow does not like the interface, this could be the ticket! Via: Asa
