sending IMAP commands using php

Question

I'm trying to access yahoo mail IMAP server with a php script. I read that yahoo requires a specific IMAP command “ID ("GUID" "1")”. How do I send this command ?

Answer 1

As of this writing, I don't believe you can access Yahoo's IMAP services externally. However, in general, you will want to use socket functions.
