### Basic Usage

[](#basic-usage)

The main access point is the `digitalshift_mailbox_client.connector`-service. It encapsulates your mailbox-connection and internally uses factories to build [Folder](Entity/Folder.php)- and [MimeMessage](Entity/MimeMessage.php)-instances by the recieved mailbox data. In your controller (for example), you can do things like that:

```
class DefaultController extends Controller
{
    ...

    public function indexAction()
    {
        /** @var ImapConnector $imapConnector */
        $imapConnector = $this->get('digitalshift_mailbox_client.connector');

        $folder = $imapConnector->getFolder();
        // OR
        $folder = $imapConnector->getFolder('INBOX');

        $message = $imapConnector->getMessage(1);
        // OR
        $message = $imapConnector->getMessage(1, 'INBOX');

        // Folder
        $folder->getName();
        $folder->getPath();
        $folder->getMessages();
        $folder->getFolders();

        // Message
        $message->getHeader();
        $message->getContent();
        $message->getSubject();
        $message->getHtmlContent();
        $message->getPlainContent();

        return $this->render(
            'DigitalshiftMailerBundle:Default:index.html.twig',
            array(
                'message' => $message,
                'folder' => $folder
            )
        );
    }

    ...

}
```
