I guess it should be a common technique, However, I tried the following two options:
1) Using my existing POP3 PHP client to access my local mail account. I am getting a ‘could not connect’. Same code works if I run it with my localhost connecting to GoDaddy’s pop3 server
2) Parsing the local mbox file – I can’t figure out if I can access it, seems like I can’t.
Any good ideas of which approach should be best here?
Seems like I have this figured out. Shared hosting (GoDaddy specifically) does not allow direct TCP connections anywhere, including their own POP3 server. Looks like I can’t be able to access the mbox file directly either. So I figure it is just not going to work.
Thanks all repliers!
Maybe there are OTHER inexpensive shared hosting plans that provide this option…
