Mail Fetcher
============

[](#mail-fetcher)

> Fetching and showing outgoing mails

This shall be the most simple way for PHP to fetch and show outgoing mails.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

1. Install package `composer require --dev screamingdev/mail-fetcher` .
2. Adapt PHP config `php -d sendmail_path="vendor/rmp-up/mail-fetcher/sendmail.php" ...` .
3. Read outgoing mails using the GUI `ln -sr vendor/screamingdev/mail-fetcher/mails.php document-root/mails.php`

Mails will now be stored in "vendor/screamingdev/mail-fetcher/var" so by removing the package all mails will be gone too. To have it more persistent or share mails among multiple projects you could replace this dir by a symlink.

Watch out: This is very simple and basic PHP. No OOP or fancy stuff needed here. This is for devs only and won't become the next big mail client :P
