I'm looking for a PHP script/class which can parse emails directly from a maildir.

Has anyone come across such a thing?

Thanks

You can write your own script that parses the mailboxes but I do not suggest that 'cause there are alternatives to access maildir.
What you need is a function with which you can download, browse modify the maildir, right?

Connection to the servern via POP3 or IMAP is a fairly easy thing to do. Everything you need is curl.

Ahh... A question. Do you want to write a webmail client? If so you might want to visit the phpmailer.sf.net. (^_^)

And one more thing... pear.php.net This is an amazing site to find some premade scripts that you can download and use on you website. Esp: Mail_Imap2 -> it makes the life easier. I created a simepl webmail client app in 25 mins. Read mail, send mail, that's all can do but it is working. (^_^) (No mime support)

Thanks for the suggestions. What I'm actually doing is creating a simple RSS feed off on inbox which receives emails from a mailing list.

I was trying to avoid having to use IMAP if possible and simply parse the files in the local maildir but I see that this is the other way of doing it.

I am sure that with the pear module it is gonna be easy. (^_^) Have fun
