Been studying storing/retrieving tree structures in MySQL all day and
brain fried. I had the wrong folder names in my script in the previous
post. The corrected script and it's output is below (same result).

On Windows
c:/localhost is the document root
c:/localhost/imap is where the Php scripts are located.
c:/localhost/imap/eml is where the mbox file "Trash" is located (a
Thunderbird mbox file)

Entire Contents of imap_open_eml.php
<?php

echo '<pre style="text-align: left;">';

imap_open('localhost/imap/eml/Trash', '', ''); // same as relative to
$HOME on *nix
imap_open('/imap/eml/Trash', '', ''); // absolute path from DOCUMENT_ROOT
imap_open('eml/Trash', '', ''); // relative path
imap_open('c:/localhost/imap/eml/Trash', '', ''); // real path on disk

echo '</pre>';

?>
---------- end imap_open_eml.php ------------

Resultant output:

Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream localhost/imap/eml/Trash in C:\localhost\utilities\imap\imap_open_eml.php on line 5
