(PHP ActiveX) Secure IMAP over TLS/SSL

To communicate with an IMAP server over TLS/SSL, simply set the Ssl and Port properties. The remainder of your code is the same as with non-SSL.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

<?php

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$imap = new COM("Chilkat_9_5_0.Imap");

// To use a secure TLS/SSL connection, set the Ssl property and the port:
$imap->Ssl = 1;
// The typical port for IMAP SSL is 993
$imap->Port = 993;

// Connect to an IMAP server.
$success = $imap->Connect('imap.someMailServer.com');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Login
$success = $imap->Login('myLogin','myPassword');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Select an IMAP mailbox
$success = $imap->SelectMailbox('Inbox');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// We can choose to fetch UIDs or sequence numbers.
$fetchUids = 1;
// Get the message IDs of all the emails in the mailbox
// messageSet is a Chilkat_9_5_0.MessageSet
$messageSet = $imap->Search('ALL',$fetchUids);
if ($imap->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Fetch the emails into a bundle object:
// bundle is a Chilkat_9_5_0.EmailBundle
$bundle = $imap->FetchBundle($messageSet);
if ($imap->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {

    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Loop over the bundle and display the FROM and SUBJECT of each.
$i = 0;
$numEmails = $bundle->MessageCount;
while ($i < $numEmails) {
    // email is a Chilkat_9_5_0.Email
    $email = $bundle->GetEmail($i);
    print $email->From . "\n";
    print $email->Subject . "\n";
    print '--' . "\n";

    $i = $i + 1;
}

// Disconnect from the IMAP server.
$success = $imap->Disconnect();
