imap_open parse and insert into database - php

Question

I am trying to fetch my emails, parse them, and insert them into my database. I am pretty far along on parsing, but the inserting part is not going well.
$headerost = 'imap.gmail.com';
$user = 'email#gmail.com ';
$pass = 'password';
$port = 993;
$protocol = "/imap/ssl";
$connect = imap_open("{{$headerost}:{$port}{$protocol}}INBOX", $user, $pass);
if (!$connect) die("Failed: $connect");
$count = imap_num_msg($connect);
for ($i = 1; $i <= $count; $i++) {
$header = imap_header($connect, $i);
$to = $header->to[0];
$from = $header->from[0];
$date = $header->date;
$date1 = date_create($date);
$date2 = date_format($date1, 'l - F jS, Y - g:i A');
$mailbox = quoted_printable_decode($from->mailbox);
$headerost = $from->host;
$email = "$mailbox#$headerost";
$mailbox1 = $to->mailbox;
$headerost1 = $to->host;
$email1 = "$mailbox1#$headerost1";
$letter = imap_fetch_overview($connect, $i);
$subj = imap_utf8( $letter[0]->subject);
$message = quoted_printable_decode(imap_fetchbody($connect, $i,1));
$query2 = "
SELECT *
FROM email
WHERE `email` = '$email'
AND 'date' = '$date2';
";
$result2 = mysql_query($query2);
$num = mysql_num_rows($result2);
$coming = "Client";
if ($num == 0) {
mysql_query ("
INSERT INTO email (
coming,
email,
date,
actualdate,
subject,
message
)
VALUES (
'$coming',
'$email',
'$date2',
'$date2',
'$subj',
'$message'
)
");
}
}
The $message is sometimes displaying the whole message, but sometimes it also displays replies, and sometimes it just displays gibberish. actual date is a date format in the MYSQL, and its entering at 00-00-0000. Email is entering as 0. $date2, $subj, and $coming are entering properly.
