Yes on each loop of reading each message, either when it gets an error or when it completes the process of working with that email it marks it to be deleted. Then just before it closes that mailbox, it deletes all those emails

It should be using port 143, right, not 110? these are the errors i now get:

Warning: imap_open() [function.imap-open]: Couldn't open stream {mail.mymailserver.com:110/pop3/notls}INBOX in /includes/cron/emailintegration.php on line 70

Warning: imap_headers(): supplied argument is not a valid imap resource in /includes/cron/emailintegration.php on line 73

Warning: imap_close(): supplied argument is not a valid imap resource in /includes/cron/emailintegration.php on line 807

EDIT: my settings are correct, I tested it with thunderbird IMAP just to doublecheck. and it works fine with thunderbird. I think it has to do with the port.

Please try the other options such as with official and self signed certificate as well.

There are 3 different pop3 and 3 different imap connections due to the varied kinds of ways people can setup their servers

To your previous question, the emails being processed to the forum are controlled through the cron job, if the cron cannot connect, it will not process those emails

however, it will still send out emails when someone posts from the forums.
