Hello
I'm using this excellent class to receive mail to several addresses @woundfollowup.com The messages typically include a jpeg attachment, so they are quite long. The php reads and stores the emails as .txt files, which are downloaded and interpreted by a program running on a slow laptop computer.
I do it this way because some of the images come directly from cell phones and these need to be 'unpicked' carefully. For the time being I'm doing this in another computer language.

If there are a lot of emails, or some ones with large images, I often lose an email.

I would be very happy if one of you could tell me where is my mistake or how to avoid this problem.

I include the php program.

Yours Sincerely
John

Hi,

I think you should try at first this correction of your fwrite line

$res = fwrite($descriptor,$Text,strlen($Text));

and you should have a look at the php.ini memory_limit of a script. Maybe that the scipt reachs the limit and don't work correctly anymore.
