Code Examples / Notes » imap_mail_copy

fongming

when you list your mailbox,you have to decode the mailbox name, use imap_utf7_decode();
for example:
//----------------------------------------------------
$host="localhost";
$port=143;
$ht="{".$host.":".$port."/imap/notls}INBOX";
$mbox=imap_open($ht,$my_user,$my_pass)or die("can't open mail ");
$mail_list=imap_listmailbox($mbox,$ht,"*");
      sort($mail_list);
      foreach($mail_list as $k=>$v)
      {
      $v_list=explode("}",$v);
      echo imap_utf7_decode(str_replace("INBOX.","",$v_list[1]));
      echo "
";
      }

The syntax for the message list is defined in RFC2060
It is a string, containing a list of message numbers and ranges, separated by commas (no spaces anywhere.) For example, "1,2,5,11:15,19" would be accepted by imap_mail_copy or imap_mail_move.
A range of messages is defined as two message numbers separated by a colon (Ex. "1:10".) Also, a "*" may be used to refer to the last message in a mailbox. (Ex. "1:*" refers to all messages)
Be careful not to use the same mailbox for source and destination, especially if you expunge the mailbox immediately afterwards; the message will be copied (back over itself), flagged as deleted (by the imap_mail_move function), and then expunged.
The following code will move the messages in the $msg_no[] array from the folder in $mbox_name to the folder in $newmbox_name: ($mbox is an already-opened imap stream)
<pre>if ($mbox_name != $newmbox_name) {
 reset($msg_no);
 $messageset = implode (",",$msg_no);
 imap_mail_move($mbox,$messageset,$newmbox_name);
 imap_expunge($mbox);
}
</pre>

If you are having problems getting imap_mail_copy and imap_mail_move to work, check you have installed imap_devel (the imap development libraries) as well as imap (the imap daemon). Without it, PHP appears to configure correctly --with-imap, but some functions do not work.
It took me about 12 hours to figure this out!!

After much fooling around, imap_mail_copy did work for me. One thing you might want to check, if you are having problems, is the new mailbox name. Make sure it is just a folder name, e.g. INBOX.haha without the server part.
