gmail:

<?php
$ServerName = "{pop.gmail.com:995/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert}";

$UserName = "user";
$PassWord = "pass";

$mbox = imap_open($ServerName, $UserName,$PassWord) or die("Could
not open Mailbox - try again later!");

if ($hdr = imap_check($mbox)) {
echo "Num Messages " . $hdr->Nmsgs;
} else {
echo "failed";
?>

Comments in the PHP manual page for imap_check() say:

"Running this on a mailbox will mark recent/new messages as checked."

"You can prevent imap_check from flagging new/recent messages as checked
by calling imap_open with the "/readonly" or OP_READONLY flags."
