Because that exposes their email address.  Spammers look for these types 
of links and when found add them to a list they sell to other spammers.

Just a great way to get inundated with SPAM.

Gmail is pretty known portal.
Forgive me if I didn't get your point.
If you find gmail link, there is nothing special about this.

It gives spammers a valid email address to spam - worth much more than 
just a portal.  And serious users don't use gmail addresses - they have 
email addresses on their own domains.

That is not a valid email address and does not allow the user to send 
you email.

You all don't understand each other!

1) The OP asked how to get IMAP ACCESS WITH PHP TO GMAIL

2) Some other guy suggested to PUT A LINK TO THE GMAIL WEBSITE INSTEAD
OF USING IMAP IN PHP ITSELF

3) And some other complained the PUTTING AN EMAIL ADDRESS ON THE WEBSITE
might be bad since spammers will collect this address

This all has NOTHING in common except that you somehow talk about "email".

I think there is a lot of misunderstanding her:

What has "I can't get IMAP access to GMail working with PHP" to do with
"put a link to the mail portal"?

And what does "put a link to the mail portal" to do with "put an e-mail
address to your website"?

Any particular reason you are replying to a post that is over 10 years old?

What is useful in this reply?

"Put a link to the webpage that will open their mail portal" is no
substitude for direct IMAP access.

For example: if you want to use IMAP to check for mails arriving on a
specific address and then process these mails by a script using a link
to the mail portal does not help.
