Hi guys,i really need your help!
I've been trying for sometime now to connect my PHP script to my mail server(HMAIL server) and it hasn't worked.
I specified the target host to be localhost/127.0.0.1 and the port number for IMAP & POP3 as 143 and 110 respectively but still my script could not find the server.
How im i supposed to solve this?
Any help is highly appreciated,thanks,Kevin.
