(PHP ActiveX) Create Email Folder (sub-Mailbox)

How to create a new email folder (sub-mailbox). (In GMail, folders are called "labels". This example would create a new "label" in GMail.)

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.

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Imap')
$imap = new COM("Chilkat.Imap");

$imap->Ssl = 1;
$imap->Port = 993;

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

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

// Create the new email folder (sub-mailbox) on the IMAP server.
// If no folder path is provided, the new folder is a sub-mailbox of Inbox.
$success = $imap->CreateMailbox('newFolder');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// (In GMail, folders are called "labels".  
// This example would create a new "label" in GMail.)

// Now create a sub-folder under "newFolder".
// Make sure to use the proper separator char for your IMAP server.
// The separator char used here is "/".   It is typically "/" or ".".
// The SeparatorChar property contains the separator char
// that should be used for the current IMAP session.
$success = $imap->CreateMailbox('newFolder/subFolder_A');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

print 'Success.' . "\n";
