How can I write a PHP script that reads email?

I have written a PHP package that automatically manages a subscriber list and emails newsletters to that subscriber list.

Now I want to write something that handles bounces. Therefore, I need to learn how to use functions that get and process email, preferably in POP3 format.

PEAR provides some documentation for IMAP routines that can handle POP. But it looks like a lot of slogging through heavy-duty techy documentation.

Is there somewhere I can look that describes, step-by-step, how to write code that reads from an email account? In a reasonably easy-to-read fashion? Or at least, gives a good overview of the process, so I can follow along with the techy documents?

Any help would be much appreciated! And remember -- I'm a PHP - MySQL programmer.

Ummm... but that's why I'm asking this question. I saw those, and while yes, I can spend the time deciphering what they are saying, I was asking if there wasn't something a little easier to read.

Thanks
