This example code works fine on PHP 3.0.16...

   $num=1;
   $link = imap_open($MAILSERVER,$PHP_AUTH_USER,$PHP_AUTH_PW);
   $header = imap_header($link,$num);

   echo  "From: $header[fromaddress]<br>";
   echo  "To: $header[toaddress]<br>";
   echo  "Date: $header[Date]<br>";
   echo  "Subject: $header[Subject]<br><br>";
   echo nl2br(imap_body($link,$num));

...but on 4.0.1r2 the "imap_header" function returns only zero length strings.

./configure '--with-apxs=/opt/Apache/bin/apxs' '--with-mysql=/opt/Mysql'
  '--with-pgsql=/opt/Postgres' '--with-ldap=/opt/Ldap' '--with-imap=../../mail/imap-4.7c/c-client'
     '--with-config-file-path=/opt/Apache/conf' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-magic-quotes'

 Thanks,
 Jeff

imap_header returns an object, not an array

so the "Right Thing (tm)" to do is using
$header->fromaddress instead of $header[fromaddress]
