I tried to make the simple program

<?php
$mbox = imap_open("{imap.liu.se:993}", "gurka222", "nada");

echo "<h1>Mailboxes</h1>\n";
$folders = imap_listmailbox($mbox, "{imap.liu.se:993}", "*");

if ($folders == false) {
echo "Call failed<br />\n";
} else {
foreach ($folders as $val) {
echo $val . "<br />\n";
}
}

echo "<h1>Headers in INBOX</h1>\n";
$headers = imap_headers($mbox);

if ($headers == false) {
echo "Call failed<br />\n";
} else {
foreach ($headers as $val) {
echo $val . "<br />\n";
}
}

imap_close($mbox);
?>

given at http://se2.php.net/manual/sv/function.imap-open.php. I'm running
PHP 4.3.10 and have enabled imap.
But I can't connect to the server (even though it works using, for instance
Outlook). When changing the imap_open line in the script to

$mbox = imap_open("{imap.liu.se:993/imap/ssl}", "gurka222", "nada");

(I added the /imap/ssl part) I immediately got the following response:


Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream {imap.liu.se:993/imap/ssl} in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\TestGetMail.php on line 2

Mailboxes

Warning: imap_listmailbox(): supplied argument is not a valid imap resource
in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\TestGetMail.php on line 5

Headers in INBOX

Warning: imap_headers(): supplied argument is not a valid imap resource in

Notice: (null)(): Can't open mailbox {imap.liu.se:993/imap/ssl}: invalid
remote specification (errflg=2) in Unknown on line 0



When not having the /imap/ssl part I only get


Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream {imap.liu.se:993} in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\TestGetMail.php on line 2

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\TestGetMail.php on line 2

Notice: (null)(): [CLOSED] IMAP connection broken (server response)
(errflg=2) in Unknown on line 0


as a response after 30 seconds. Does this mean I have to include a
certifcate of some kind in some way? If I need, how to do it?

What could be wrong?
