(PHP ActiveX) IMAP Find Emails by DateSee more IMAP ExamplesExplains how to find emails by date using the IMAP protocol.
<?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"); // Connect to an IMAP server. $imap->Ssl = 1; $imap->Port = 993; $success = $imap->Connect('imap.example.com'); if ($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; } // In the IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) protocol, criteria strings are used to search for emails matching specific criteria on the mail server. // When searching for emails by date, you can use criteria strings to specify the date range you're interested in. // // IMAP provides several options for searching emails by date using criteria strings. Here are the commonly used ones: // // 1. BEFORE: Searches for emails sent before a specific date. // Example: BEFORE 01-Apr-2022 // // 2. ON: Searches for emails sent on a specific date. // Example: ON 01-Apr-2022 // // 3. SINCE: Searches for emails sent after a specific date. // Example: SINCE 01-Apr-2022 // // 4. SENTBEFORE: Searches for emails whose date header (sent date) is before a specific date. // Example: SENTBEFORE 01-Apr-2022 // // 5. SENTON: Searches for emails whose date header (sent date) is on a specific date. // Example: SENTON 01-Apr-2022 // // 6. SENTSINCE: Searches for emails whose date header (sent date) is after a specific date. // Example: SENTSINCE 01-Apr-2022 // // // The date format used in IMAP criteria strings is typically a specific format like "DD-Mon-YYYY" (e.g., "01-Apr-2022"), but some servers may also accept other formats // such as "YYYY-MM-DD". It's essential to check the documentation or specifications of the IMAP server you're working with to ensure compatibility with the // date format you're using. // // By combining these date criteria strings with other search criteria (such as sender, recipient, subject, etc.), // you can effectively filter and retrieve emails based on various conditions. // // Search for messages on a specific date. // The date string is DD-Month-YYYY where Month is // Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, or Dec. $onDate = 'SENTON 15-Apr-2024'; // Search for messages between two dates. SENTBEFORE // finds emails sent before a date, and SENTSINCE finds // email sent on or after a date. The "AND" operation // is implied by joining criteria, separated by spaces. $betweenDates = 'SENTSINCE 12-Apr-2024 SENTBEFORE 15-Apr-2024'; // We can choose to fetch UIDs or sequence numbers. $fetchUids = 1; // messageSet is a Chilkat.MessageSet $messageSet = $imap->Search($betweenDates,$fetchUids); if ($imap->LastMethodSuccess == 0) { print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n"; exit; } print $messageSet->toCompactString() . "\n"; // Download each email in the message set. $messageCount = $messageSet->Count; $i = 0; while ($i < $messageCount) { // email is a Chilkat.Email $email = $imap->FetchSingle($messageSet->GetId($i),$fetchUids); if ($imap->LastMethodSuccess == 0) { print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n"; exit; } print $email->Subject . "\n"; // ... $i = $i + 1; } // Disconnect from the IMAP server. $success = $imap->Disconnect(); ?> |
