According to the php manual, imap_open will Return an IMAP stream on
success and FALSE on error. Is there a function I can put around
imap_open to return true if there is a stream or return false if ther
eis no stream?  I dont want to store the password anywhere on the
system, so I want to test it by checking if I get an imap stream or
not..  Here is the code I wrote, it will work if there is a way I can
return true or false whether there is a stream. thanks:
if(imap_open($IMAP_SERVER,$username,$password))
      return true;
      $alerts = imap_alerts();
      $errors = imap_errors();
      $x = count($alerts);
      $y = count($errors);
      if($x > 0){
         for($i=0;$i<$x;$i++){
           echo $alerts[$x] ."<br>";
         }
       }
      if($y > 0){
        for($i=0;$i<$y;$i++){
          echo $errors[$y] ."<br>";
         }
       }
      return false;}
  }else{
    return false;
  }
