    Hi DP

    Is there anyway to get the email of the recipient who reply to your email?

    For example in Facebook, when someone respond to your status, you can reply to the email, it will update your status. How do I do something like that? In fact, I want to get their email address instead.

    You can just use a API to get that done if that's what your asking for (your post is slightly confusing).

    Pardon me for the confusion.

    It has something to do with imap. That's what I read.

    So let's say I send a member an activation email.

    In order to activate their account, I need them to click 'reply' with Subject: "iwanttoactivate"

    Once they click send, their account will be automatically activated.

    It would be much easier to create a php activation page on your site. So the activation link in the email you send will be mysite.com/activate.php?user=user@email.com
    There you can do all checkings and activation.
