So I have the basic problem of a mailing list and I am trying to find all the undeliverable emails and turn them off. I am using php imap function and I have been going through all the fetch and structure functions and although they do give you the information is there anything that concisely will say this is a bad email based on the error code. Currently my best option is using imap_fetchbody with option 2 and doing a find for 550 or 5.4.4 or 5.1.1 etc and then grabbing the email. I wanted to know if there was a function that tells you bad good or at least just has the above codes 550, 5.4.4 etc in a concise array format.
set_time_limit(0);
$hostname = "{localhost:110/pop3/novalidate-cert}INBOX";
$username = 'xxxx';
$password = "xxxx";
$inbox = imap_open($hostname, $username, $password) or die("Cannot connect to pop: " . imap_last_error());
$emails = imap_search($inbox, 'ALL');
if($emails){
$output = '';
rsort($emails);
foreach($emails as $key1 => $email_number){
if($key1 < 10){
$imap_fetchstructure = imap_fetchstructure($inbox, $email_number);
$imap_fetchbody = imap_fetchbody($inbox, $email_number, 1);
$imap_fetch_overview = imap_fetch_overview($inbox, $email_number);
$imap_bodystruct = imap_bodystruct($inbox, $email_number, 1);`
} else{
break;
}
}
}
imap_close($inbox);

I'm new to using imap with php to get message from gmail.
In gmail docs they said
Important: To avoid temporarily locking yourself out of your account, make sure you don't exceed 2500 MB per day for IMAP downloads and 500 MB per day for IMAP uploads. If you're setting up a single IMAP account on multiple computers, try taking a break between each setup.
Here's the link
I'm using this code to get mail from INBOX folder
// Connect to gmail
$imapPath = '{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX';
$username = 'exampleusername';
$password = 'examplepassword';
// try to connect
$inbox = imap_open($imapPath, $username, $password) or die('Cannot connect to Gmail: ' . imap_last_error());
// search and get unseen emails, function will return email ids
$emails = imap_search($inbox, 'UNSEEN');
$output = [];
foreach ($emails as $mail) {
$headerInfo = imap_headerinfo($inbox, $mail);
$output[] = $headerInfo->subject . '<br/>';
$output[] = $headerInfo->toaddress . '<br/>';
$output[] = $headerInfo->date . '<br/>';
$output[] = $headerInfo->fromaddress . '<br/>';
$output[] = $headerInfo->reply_toaddress . '<br/>';
$emailStructure = imap_fetchstructure($inbox, $mail);
if (!isset($emailStructure->parts)) {
$output[] = imap_body($inbox, $mail, FT_PEEK);
} else {
//
}
print_r($output);
$output = [];
}
// colse the connection
imap_expunge($inbox);
imap_close($inbox);
My question is how i can check for how much memory i had using for IMAP dowloads and for IMAP uploads?
I am connecting to my inbox via PHP IMAP plugin. Below are my steps
Connection
//The location of the mailbox.
$hostname = '{outlook.office365.com:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}';
//The username / email address that we want to login to.
$username = 'username';
//The password for this email address.
$password = 'password';
I am further opening the inbox connection and looking at anything that is UNSEEN in the inbox
//Attempt to connect using the imap_open function.
$inbox = imap_open($hostname,$username,$password);
$mailboxes = imap_list($inbox, $hostname, '*');
imap_reopen($inbox, $hostname.'INBOX');
$emails = imap_search($inbox, 'UNSEEN');
Further, I am iterating over all the emails and its working well with headers. The issue I am having is with body.
To get the body of the email I am using
//get message body
$message = quoted_printable_decode(imap_fetchbody($inbox, $email_number, 2.1));
if ($message == '') {
$message = quoted_printable_decode(imap_fetchbody($inbox, $email_number, 1));
}
So running a test on 40 emails, 28 emails fetch the body correct and store into the database.
12 emails fetch a body which looks like
PGh0bWwgeG1sbnM6dj0idXJuOnNjaGVtYXMtbWljcm9zb2Z0LWNvbTp2bWwiIHhtbG5zOm89InVy
bjpzY2hlbWFzLW1pY3Jvc29mdC1jb206b2ZmaWNlOm9mZmljZSIgeG1sbnM6dz0idXJuOnNjaGVt

LXN0eWxlLXByaW9
How should I be reading the body? So that I can have my test pass all the emails correctly?
Thank you
Also I found a way to get rid of those characters.
I looked at the encoding and I am parsing based on encoding numbers as follow
$encoding = $structure->encoding;
if($encoding == 3) {
$finalmsg = imap_base64($message);
} else if($encoding == 1) {
$finalmsg = imap_8bit($message);
} else {
$finalmsg = imap_qprint($message);
}
I am still having issues when encoding type = 0. The signature is causing major problem
I access to gmail using php to make action on mail. I put these mails into a folder using gmail directly.
So here is my code to get it :
$hostname = '{imap.gmail.com:993/ssl}test';
$username = 'myaddress#gmail.com';
$password = 'mypassword';
/* try to connect */
$inbox = imap_open($hostname,$username,$password) or die('Cannot connect to Gmail: ' . imap_last_error());
/* grab emails */
$emails = imap_search($inbox,'ALL');
//$emails = imap_search($inbox,'RECENT');
print_r($emails);
/* if emails are returned, cycle through each... */
if($emails) {
/* begin output var */
$output = '';
/* put the newest emails on top */
rsort($emails);
$emailCount = 1;
foreach($emails as $email_number) {
//echo 'email n∞' . $emailCount;
/* get information specific to this email */
$overview = imap_fetch_overview($inbox,$email_number,0);
$message = imap_fetchbody($inbox,$email_number,2);
$structure = imap_fetchstructure($inbox,$email_number);
if (!$overview[0]->seen) {
print_r($overview);
$emailCount++;
}
}
// echo $output;
}
/* close the connection */
imap_close($inbox);
No I'd like to move these mail into an other folder, for exemple test2
here is what I do :
imap_mail_move($inbox, $email_number, 'test2') or die('Error');
but I get an error :
Notice: Unknown: [TRYCREATE] No folder test2 (Failure) [THROTTLED] (errflg=2) in Unknown on line 0
I have tried these different kind of solution :
With a subfolder of test named test3
imap_mail_move($inbox, $email_number, 'test3') or die('Error');
same error.
Also tried :
imap_mail_move($inbox, $email_number, '[Gmail]/test3') or die('Error');
Same error :-(
If anyone has a solution that would be cool !
Thanks,
Alex
So after several tries here is what I have found that works :
imap_mail_move($inbox, $email_number, 'INBOX') or die('Error');
imap_mail_move($inbox, $email_number, 'test2') or die('Error');
But that means to move to the inbox then to the second folder. Problem : the message is still in the inbox after these.
Still looking for an other solution.
$hostname = '{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX';
$username = '******#gmail.com';
$password = '******';
$inbox = imap_open($hostname,$username,$password) or die('Cannot connect to Gmail: ' . imap_last_error());
$emails = imap_search($inbox,'SUBJECT "string"');
$mail_ids = array();
if($emails) {
echo count($emails);
}
This code gives output of 309. But, when I search in gmail, using same keyword, I get 344 results.
Any idea where data is lost or where I am wrong?
$emails = imap_search($inbox,'BODY "string" SUBJECT "string"');
found more results as per #arnt's comment. Thanks :)
I want a very reliable way of retrieving data from email headers. Should I use an email parser like eg https://github.com/plancake/official-library-php-email-parser or are php imap functions sufficient to get that data? What is best practice? Is there any experience? I can imagine that there is a lot of differences in formatting email headers composed by many email clients. That is why I want a reliable solution.
I used built-in IMAP functions for a project which requires processing the emails by their dates and didn't need anything else actually. You can try and see if they are useful for you with the code below;
<?php
/* connect to gmail */
$hostname = '{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX';
$username = 'user#gmail.com';
$password = 'pass123';
/* try to connect */
$inbox = imap_open($hostname, $username, $password, OP_READONLY,1) or die('Cannot connect to Gmail: ' . print_r(imap_last_error()));
$emails = imap_search($inbox, 'ALL');
/* if emails are returned, cycle through each... */
if ($emails) {
foreach ($emails as $email_number) {
echo imap_fetchbody($inbox, $email_number, 0);
echo imap_fetchbody($inbox, $email_number, 1);
echo imap_fetchbody($inbox, $email_number, 2);
}
}
imap_close($inbox);
?>
The tricky part is imap_fetchbody($inbox, $email_number, 0). This part will return the headers. Once you get them, you can parse or use it as you wish.
Hope it helps.
