How to use ¶

Extract and place the contents of the package into your extensions folder (you can place it where ever you wish, the extensions folder is for the sake of the example).

Examples

reading unseen emails

Yii::import('ext.EImap.EIMap', true);
 
// please replace the server path to the one of your
// inbox + your username and password
$imap = new EIMap('{imap.server.com:993}/imap/ssl}INBOX', 'yourusername', 'yourpassword');
 
if($imap->connect())
{
    // we are set lets search for unseen
    $unseen = $imap->searchmails( EIMap::SEARCH_UNSEEN );
 
    if($unseen && is_array($unseen)) // do we have any?
    {
        // put new ones first
        rsort($unseen);
 
        foreach($unseen as $msgId)
        {
            $mail = $imap->getMail( $msgId );
            echo '<pre>'.( CVarDumper::dumpAsString( $mail ) ).'</pre>';
        }
    }
    $imap->close(); // close connection     
}

reading mails overviews

Yii::import('ext.EImap.EIMap', true);
 
// please replace the server path to the one of your
// inbox + your username and password
$imap = new EIMap('{imap.server.com:993}/imap/ssl}INBOX', 'yourusername', 'yourpassword');
 
if($imap->connect())
{
    // get mailbox info
    $mailboxCheck = $imap->getCheck();
 
    // read all messages overviews
    $result = $imap->getMailboxOverview("1:{$mailboxCheck->Nmsgs}");
 
    // if we have any display them
    foreach($result as $overview)
    {
        echo "#{$overview->msgno} ({$overview->date}) - From: {$overview->from} {$overview->subject}\n";
        echo "size: {$overview->size}";
        echo '<pre>'.CVarDumper::dumpAsString($overview).'</pre>';
 
        // sender again please?
        echo '<pre>'.CVarDumper::dumpAsString($imap->getSender($overview->msgno)).'</pre>';
    }
    $imap->close(); // close connection     
}

bug

replace

if (($structure->ifdisposition && strtolower($part->disposition) == 'attachment' && $structure->ifdparameters) ||   (in_array(strtolower($part->subtype), $imgTypes))

if( property_exists($part, 'disposition') && strtolower($part->disposition)=='attachment')

if not, the code only worked when the attachments were images, a non sense, ifdisposition has nothing to do

.... modifying this extension to be usable, ....I'll upload the result

not work if php < 5.3.2

imap_open not work with 6 parameters if php<5.3.2, replace imap_open line, by this:

if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.3.2', '<') ) {
    $ev->stream = $this->stream = @imap_open($this->mailbox, $this->username, $this->password, $options, $retries);
}
else {
    $ev->stream = $this->stream = @imap_open($this->mailbox, $this->username, $this->password, $options, $retries,  $params);
}

bug for video attachments

Thanks for the extension!

It took me while to get it to work for video-file attachments.

First, I expanded $imgTypes to include 'mp4', et cetera. But even then the download of the attachment failed.

Secondly, I believe there is a bug in getAttachment(). The line:

    $data = $this->decodeValue($body, $part->type);

should actually be:

    $data = $this->decodeValue($body, $part->encoding);

Is that right? After the above changes, downloading video attachments seems to work.
