(PHP ActiveX) Delete All IMAP Email

Demonstrates two ways to delete all email in a mailbox on an IMAP server.

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 requires 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");

// Turn on session logging:
$imap->KeepSessionLog = 1;

// Connect to an IMAP server.
// Use TLS
$imap->Ssl = 1;
$imap->Port = 993;
$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 = $imap->SelectMailbox('Inbox.RubyMail');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Get the complete set of Uids for email in the selected mailbox.
// messageSet is a Chilkat.MessageSet
$messageSet = $imap->GetAllUids();
if ($imap->LastMethodSuccess != 1) {
    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Set the Deleted flag for each message.
// (ExpungeAndClose must be called to finalize the delete.)
$success = $imap->SetFlags($messageSet,'Deleted',1);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Alternatively, the Deleted flag may be set for each UID
// individiually, but this is less efficient:

$n = $messageSet->Count;
for ($i = 0; $i <= $n - 1; $i++) {
    $success = $imap->SetFlag($messageSet->GetId($i),$messageSet->HasUids,'Deleted',1);
    if ($success != 1) {
        print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
        exit;
    }

}

// Expunge and close the mailbox.
$success = $imap->ExpungeAndClose();
if ($success != 1) {
    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Display the session log.
print $imap->SessionLog . "\n";

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