The class and other scripts that I've found allow the emails to be read in a pop3 inbox, however, I've been unable to figure out how to read other folders. For example, we have a filter that redirects bounced emails to a folder called "Bad Addresses".

How do we specify a folder other than the inbox?

Thanks.

Sorry to reply to my own post, but I could not figure out how to edit my original. Still don't know how to read the folders other than inbox, but did a little poking around and found out the following:

inbox is located here where reply is the email address
mail/<my domain>/reply/cur/

My Bad addresses are located here:
mail/<my domain>/reply/.Bad Addresses/cur

Interesting, but I'm still not sure how to read the .Bad Addresses folder

Ideas? Have I missed where reading folders is discussed?

Thanks.

The POP3 protocol does not support the folder concept. You are probably thinking of IMAP protocol.
