Answer 1

According to the imap_open() documentation you need to provide a service flag if you are not using IMAP.

You are using port 110 which is for POP3, so you need to let imap_open() know about that by changing your connection string from

$hostname = '{mail.test.in:110}INBOX';

to

$hostname = '{mail.test.in:110/pop3}INBOX';
