$hostname = '{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX';
$username = 'example#gmail.com';
$password = 'example';
$inbox = imap_open($hostname,$username ,$password) or die('Cannot connect to Gmail: ' . imap_last_error());
$emails = imap_search($inbox,'ALL');
if($emails) {
$output = '';
rsort($emails);
foreach($emails as $email_number) {
$overview = imap_fetch_overview($inbox,$email_number,0);
$output.= 'Name: '.$overview[0]->from.'</br>';
$output.= 'Message ID: '.$overview[0]->message_id.'</br>';
$output.= 'Subject: '.$overview[0]->subject.'</br>';
$output.= 'UID: '.$overview[0]->uid.'</br>';
$output.= '<hr/>';
}
echo $output;
}
imap_close($inbox);
