PHP Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

IMAP Download All Email One at a Time

Demonstrates how to download every email in an IMAP mailbox one at a time as a MIME string or as an email object. (The MIME contains the full contents of the email including all attachments.) Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

use Chilkat2\Email;
use Chilkat2\Imap;

$imap = new Imap();

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Connect to an IMAP server.
// Use TLS
$imap->Ssl = true;
$imap->Port = 993;
try {
    $imap->Connect('imap.example.com');

    // Login
    $imap->Login('myLogin', 'myPassword');

    // Select an IMAP mailbox
    $imap->SelectMailbox('Inbox');
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}

// Once the mailbox is selected, the NumMessages property
// will contain the number of messages in the mailbox.
// You may loop from 1 to NumMessages to
// fetch each message by sequence number.

$bUid = false;
$mimeStr = '';
$n = $imap->NumMessages;
for ($i = 1; $i <= $n; $i++) {
    // Download the email by sequence number.
    $mimeStr = $imap->FetchSingleAsMime($i, $bUid);

    // ... your application may process each MIME string...
}

// An alternative is to download each email in the form of an
// email object, like this:
$email = new Email();
for ($i = 1; $i <= $n; $i++) {
    // Download the email by sequence number.
    $imap->FetchEmail(false, $i, $bUid, $email);

    // ... your application may process the email object...
}

// Disconnect from the IMAP server.
$imap->Disconnect();
