IMAP Library for PHP

Description

PHP-IMAP is a wrapper for common IMAP communication without the need to have the php-imap module installed / enabled. The protocol is completely integrated and therefore supports IMAP IDLE operation and the "new" oAuth authentication process as well. You can enable the php-imap module in order to handle edge cases, improve message decoding quality and is required if you want to use legacy protocols such as pop3.

Basic usage example

This is a basic example, which will echo out all Mails within all imap folders and will move every message into INBOX.read. Please be aware that this should not be tested in real life and is only meant to gives an impression on how things work.

use Webklex\PHPIMAP\ClientManager;

$cm = new ClientManager('path/to/config/imap.php');

/** @var \Webklex\PHPIMAP\Client $client */
$client = $cm->account('account_identifier');

//Connect to the IMAP Server
$client->connect();

//Get all Mailboxes
/** @var \Webklex\PHPIMAP\Support\FolderCollection $folders */
$folders = $client->getFolders();

//Loop through every Mailbox
/** @var \Webklex\PHPIMAP\Folder $folder */
foreach($folders as $folder){

    //Get all Messages of the current Mailbox $folder
    /** @var \Webklex\PHPIMAP\Support\MessageCollection $messages */
    $messages = $folder->messages()->all()->get();
    
    /** @var \Webklex\PHPIMAP\Message $message */
    foreach($messages as $message){
        echo $message->getSubject().'<br />';
        echo 'Attachments: '.$message->getAttachments()->count().'<br />';
        echo $message->getHTMLBody();
        
        //Move the current Message to 'INBOX.read'
        if($message->move('INBOX.read') == true){
            echo 'Message has been moved';
        }else{
            echo 'Message could not be moved';
        }
    }
}
