// 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.
// Use TLS
$imap->Ssl = 1;
$imap->Port = 993;

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

    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";

// Select an IMAP mailbox
$success = $imap->SelectMailbox('Inbox');

    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";

// We can choose to fetch UIDs or sequence numbers.

// When downloading headers, each email object contains
// (obviously) the headers, but the body will be missing.
// Also, attachments will not be included.  However, it is
// possible to get information about the attachments
// as well as the complete size of the email.

// bundle is a Chilkat.EmailBundle
$bundle = $imap->FetchHeaders($messageSet);
if ($imap->LastMethodSuccess != 1) {

    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Loop over the email objects and display information
// about each:

for ($i = 0; $i <= $bundle->MessageCount - 1; $i++) {

    // email is a Chilkat.Email
    $email = $bundle->GetEmail($i);

    // Display the From and Subject
    print $email->From . "\n";
    print $email->Subject . "\n";

    // Display the recipients:

    for ($j = 0; $j <= $email->NumTo - 1; $j++) {
        $name = $email->getToName($j);
        $addr = $email->getToAddr($j);

        print $name . ', ' . $addr . "\n";
    }

    // Show the total size of the email, including body and attachments:
    print $email->Size . "\n";

    // When a full email is downloaded, we would use the
    // email.NumAttachments property in conjunction with the
    // email.GetMailAttach* methods.
    // However, when an email object contains only the header,
    // we need to access the attachment info differently:
    $numAttach = $imap->GetMailNumAttach($email);
    for ($j = 0; $j <= $numAttach - 1; $j++) {
        print $imap->getMailAttachFilename($email,$j) . "\n";
        $attachSize = $imap->GetMailAttachSize($email,$j);
        print '    size = ' . $attachSize . ' bytes' . "\n";
    }

// Disconnect from the IMAP server.
