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.

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 $message->getSubject().''; echo 'Attachments: '.$message->getAttachments()->count().''; 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'; } } } ``` ### Known issues [](#known-issues) ErrorSolutionKerberos error: No credentials cache file found (try running kinit) (...)Uncomment "DISABLE\_AUTHENTICATOR" inside your config and use the `legacy-imap` protocolSupport ------- [](#support) If you encounter any problems or if you find a bug, please don't hesitate to create a new [issue](https://github.com/Webklex/php-imap/issues).
