<?php

$success = 0;

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

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

//  Connect to an IMAP server.
//  Use TLS
$imap->Ssl = 1;
$imap->Port = 993;
$success = $imap->Connect('imap.example.com');
if ($success == 0) {
    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";

//  Login
$success = $imap->Login('myLogin','myPassword');

//  Select an IMAP mailbox
$success = $imap->SelectMailbox('Inbox');
if ($success == 0) {
    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

//  Once the mailbox is selected, the NumMessages property
//  will contain the number of messages in the mailbox.
//  You may loop from 1 to NumMessages to
//  fetch each message by sequence number.

for ($i = 1; $i <= $n; $i++) {

    //  Download the email by sequence number.
    $mimeStr = $imap->fetchSingleAsMime($i,$bUid);

    //  ... your application may process each MIME string...
}

//  An alternative is to download each email in the form of an
//  email object, like this:
$email = new COM("Chilkat.Email");
for ($i = 1; $i <= $n; $i++) {

    //  Download the email by sequence number.
    $success = $imap->FetchEmail(0,$i,$bUid,$email);

    //  ... your application may process the email object...

}

//  Disconnect from the IMAP server.
