when there are no messages in an INBOX, the error "Fatal error: Mailbox is empty in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs/mail.php3 on line XX" 

Adding the @ in front of imap_open does nothing. When there are messages this error does not apear.

I can not reproduce this. Could you please include a shortest possible 
reproducing script into this bug report?

No feedback and I can not reproduce this with
latest working CVS.

After almost 4 years, this problem continues to be unaddressed.

The mail-box-empty message is reported as an error, which is wrong.  If the mail box is empty, imap_last_error should not return this as an error.

This bug should be reopened.  The current behaviour is really wrong.

<?
$mbox = @imap_open('{localhost:110/pop3}INBOX', 'user', 'password');
?>

Obviously, in the above example, I have a pop3 server running on localhost, with the user/password credentials.

Result:

PHP Notice:  (null)(): Mailbox is empty (errflg=1) in Unknown on line 0
