Email Systems

Tired of sending those drab textual notifications and newsletters to your friend and clients? Ever wanted to send attachments and/or HTML embedded email. The answer is MIME. This article explains the basics of MIME, creating MIME-compliant messages and then ends with a working class implementation of sending MIME complaint email in PHP. Note that references to calling script, caller etc. denote the script that uses the class we are about to develop and client/MUA etc. denote a mail reading client or mail user agent.

This tutorial shows you how to use PHP to make a quick, simple and effective IMAP or POP mail reader. The tutorial includes 3 short PHP scripts that allows you to access and read your email from anywhere in the world via your web browser.
