Library to read emails and their attachments?

Hi

I need a library which can connect to an email account and download its emails and attachments. I then want to move the attachments over to a specific folder on my server and write some stuff to the DB.

As for the email functions, is there such a library?

+1 here.

About 1,5 year ago we tried the same thing and it was a disaster to deal with attachments, different MIME types and foreign characters. (Like those umlauts in German.)

A library suggestion would be much appreciated.

Zend Framework has a nice class (Zend Mail):

Shouldn't be too hard to get the required classes out, I've used it in other frameworks as well. Works great
