Usage

Requirements

Before you start ❗

Installation

Disposable-mailbox can be installed by copying the src directory to a webserver.

  1. Assure the imap extension is installed. The following command should not print any errors:

     <?php print imap_base64("SU1BUCBleHRlbnNpb24gc2VlbXMgdG8gYmUgaW5zdGFsbGVkLiA="); ?>
    
  2. Download a release or clone this repository

  3. Copy the files in the src directory to your web server (not the whole repo!).

  4. Rename config.sample.php to config.php and apply the imap settings. Move config.php to a safe location in a parent directory outside the public_html, so it is not reachable through the browser.

  5. Open it in your browser, check your php error log for messages.

Troubleshooting

  • IMAP Server has invalid certificate: You might have to add novalidate-cert to the IMAP settings. See flags on http://php.net/manual/en/function.imap-open.php.

  • Error 500, Internal error: Check your error log file. Add to config.php:

    ini_set('display_errors', 1); ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1); error_reporting(E_ALL);
