IIIRC, a fair amount of the IMAP functions work with POP3 mail servers as well.

I think you find couple examples here : PHP : Function Reference : IMAP, POP3 and NNTP Functions : imap_mail

problem configuring smtp in php.ini on my wamp server

the SMTP is valid because it is the one we use to access our local mail on our mailserver.at 192.168.0.254

now for port 25 when i did the telnet thingy on port 25 like telnet 25
it is giving me this error:
could not open connection to the host,on port 23: connection failed
