Installation ------------ [](#installation) The recommended way to install the IMAP library is through [Composer](http://getcomposer.org): ``` $ composer require jhonn921007/imap:@stable ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Connect and authenticate [](#connect-and-authenticate) ``` use Ddeboer\Imap\Server; $server = new Server('imap.gmail.com'); // $connection is instance of \Ddeboer\Imap\Connection $connection = $server->authenticate('my_username', 'my_password'); ``` ### Mailboxes [](#mailboxes) Retrieve mailboxes (also known as mail folders) from mailserver and iterate over them: ``` $mailboxes = $connection->getMailboxes(); foreach ($mailboxes as $mailbox) { // $mailbox is instance of \Ddeboer\Imap\Mailbox printf('Mailbox %s has %s messages', $mailbox->getName(), $mailbox->count()); } ``` Delete a mailbox: ``` $mailbox->delete(); ``` ### Messages [](#messages) Retrieve messages (e-mails) from a mailbox and iterate over them: ``` $messages = $mailbox->getMessages(); foreach ($messages as $message) { // $message is instance of \Ddeboer\Imap\Message } ``` Get message number and unique [message id](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message-ID)in the form <...>: ``` $message->getNumber(); $message->getId(); ``` Get other message properties: ``` $message->getSubject(); $message->getFrom(); $message->getTo(); $message->getDate(); $message->isAnswered(); $message->isDeleted(); $message->isDraft(); $message->isSeen(); ``` Get message headers as a [\\Ddeboer\\Imap\\Message\\Headers](/src/Ddeboer/Imap/Message/Headers.php) object: ``` $message->getHeaders(); ``` Get message body as HTML or plain text: ``` $message->getBodyHtml(); $message->getBodyText(); ``` Reading the message body marks the message as seen. If you want to keep the message unseen: ``` $message->keepUnseen()->getBodyHtml(); ``` Move a message to another mailbox: ``` $mailbox = $connection->getMailbox('another-mailbox'); $message->move($mailbox); ``` Deleting messages: ``` $mailbox->getMessage(1)->delete(); $mailbox->getMessage(2)->delete(); $mailbox->expunge(); ``` ### Message attachments [](#message-attachments) Get message attachments (both inline and attached) and iterate over them: ``` $attachments = $message->getAttachments(); foreach ($attachments as $attachment) { // $attachment is instance of \Ddeboer\Imap\Message\Attachment } ``` Download a message attachment to a local file: ``` // getDecodedContent() decodes the attachments contents automatically: \file_put_contents( '/my/local/dir/' . $attachment->getFilename(), $attachment->getDecodedContent() ); ``` Running the tests ----------------- [](#running-the-tests) This library is functionally tested on [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/ddeboer/imap)against the Gmail IMAP server. If you have your own Gmail (test) account, you can run the tests locally: ``` $ composer install --dev $ export EMAIL_USERNAME="your_gmail_username" $ export EMAIL_PASSWORD="your_gmail_password" $ vendor/bin/phpunit ``` ### Health Score 28 — LowBetter than 54% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity11 Limited adoption so far Community17 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity58 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 83% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
