// This example assumes Chilkat Imap to have been previously unlocked.
// See Unlock Imap 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 the iCloud IMAP Mail Server
$imap->Ssl = 1;
$imap->Port = 993;
$success = $imap->Connect('imap.mail.me.com');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// The username is usually the name part of your iCloud email address 
// (for example, emilyparker, not emilyparker@icloud.com).
$success = $imap->Login('ICLOUD_USERNAME','ICLOUD_PASSWORD');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

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

// Once the folder/mailbox is selected, the NumMessages property
// will contain the number of emails in the mailbox.
// Loop from 1 to NumMessages to fetch each email by sequence number.

$n = $imap->NumMessages;
$bUid = 0;
for ($i = 1; $i <= $n; $i++) {

    // Download the email by sequence number.
    // email is a Chilkat.Email
    $email = $imap->FetchSingle($i,$bUid);
    if ($imap->LastMethodSuccess != 1) {
        print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
        exit;
    }

    print $i . ': ' . $email->From . "\n";
    print '    ' . $email->Subject . "\n";
    print '-' . "\n";

}

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

print 'Success.' . "\n";

// Sample output:

// 	1: iCloud <noreply@email.apple.com>
// 	    Welcome to iCloud Mail.
// 	-
// 	2: "Chilkat Software" <support@chilkatsoft.com>
// 	    This is a test
// 	-
// 	Success.
