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.

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 give an impression on how things work.
use Webklex\PHPIMAP\ClientManager;
require_once "vendor/autoload.php";
$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';
}
}
}
To run the tests, please execute the following command:
composer testTo disable all test which require a live mailbox, please copy the phpunit.xml.dist to phpunit.xml and adjust the configuration:
<php>
<env name="LIVE_MAILBOX" value="false"/>
</php>To run all tests, you need to provide a valid imap configuration.
To provide a valid imap configuration, please copy the phpunit.xml.dist to phpunit.xml and adjust the configuration:
<php>
<env name="LIVE_MAILBOX" value="true"/>
<env name="LIVE_MAILBOX_DEBUG" value="true"/>
<env name="LIVE_MAILBOX_HOST" value="mail.example.local"/>
<env name="LIVE_MAILBOX_PORT" value="993"/>
<env name="LIVE_MAILBOX_VALIDATE_CERT" value="false"/>
<env name="LIVE_MAILBOX_QUOTA_SUPPORT" value="true"/>
<env name="LIVE_MAILBOX_ENCRYPTION" value="ssl"/>
<env name="LIVE_MAILBOX_USERNAME" value="[email protected]"/>
<env name="LIVE_MAILBOX_PASSWORD" value="foobar"/>
</php>The test account should not contain any important data, as it will be deleted during the test. Furthermore, the test account should be able to create new folders, move messages and should not be used by any other application during the test.
It's recommended to use a dedicated test account for this purpose. You can use the provided Dockerfile to create an imap server used for testing purposes.
