Add mail to Send folder with SwiftMailer - php

Question

I'm using SwiftMailer for PHP from swiftmailer.org
Everything works well but I wonder if there is a way to add the sent message into the sent folder from the mail account that SwiftMailer is sending from?
That's all, have a nice day.

Answer 1

According to the developer, swiftmailer cannot copy to Sent folder because it is a mail sender and not mailbox manager.
As mentioned on the github page:
Swiftmailer is a library to send emails, not to manage mailboxes. So, this is indeed out of the scope of Swiftmailer.
However, someone from php.net posted a solution that might work for you:
Use SwiftMailer to send the message via PHP.
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance("Subject goes here");
// (then add from, to, body, attachments etc)
$result = $mailer->send($message);
When you construct the message in step 1) above save it to a variable as follows:
$msg = $message->toString();
// (this creates the full MIME message required for imap_append()!!
// After this you can call imap_append like this:
imap_append($imap_conn,$mail_box,$msg."\r\n","\\Seen");

I've had similar problem and Sutandiono's answer got me into right direction. However because of completeness and as I had additional problem connecting to an Exchange 2007 server, I wanted to provide a complete snippet for storing message to Sent folder on IMAP:
$msg = $message->toString();
// $message is instance of Swift_Message from SwiftMailer
$stream = imap_open("{mail.XXXXX.org/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}", "username", "password", null, 1, array('DISABLE_AUTHENTICATOR' => 'GSSAPI'));
// connect to IMAP SSL (port 993) without Kerberos and no certificate validation
imap_append($stream,"{mail.XXXXX.org/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}Sent Items",$msg."\r\n","\\Seen");
// Saves message to Sent folder and marks it as read
imap_close($stream);
// Close connection to the server when you're done
Replace server hostname, username and password with your own information.
