I'd like to code a webbased email program with which I can send and recieve email.
Sending seems to be the easy bit, thanks to the mail() function but how about retrieving the mail? If someone sends me an email and I have a pop3 account on a server (hosted, not mine) and I have the server address and the pop3 account and password - how do I get php to retrieve the email. Once I have the data I'd want to store it in a mySQL database, but that should be the easy bit?!?
I've searched the php manual but I honestly can't find a reference to 'get mail'. Can anyone point me in the right direction??
Okay I can send email, now how do I retrieve it?

Sounds like your php installation doesn't have imap support compiled in. Once you correct that problem, you should take a look at the IMP webmail system on horde.org. It's the coolest, easiest one to use that I have found.
