(PHP ActiveX) Reading Unread POP3 EmailThe POP3 protocol does not provide the ability to ask the server which emails are "unread". Furthermore, a pure POP3 server does not even keep this information. Some servers, such as Exchange Server, expose both POP3 and IMAP interfaces. In these cases, information about read/unread status exists on the server, but it is only available via the IMAP protocol. Email clients such as Outlook and Thunderbird keep read/unread information on the client computer. This example demonstrates how UIDLs can be saved to track and read "unread" email.
<?php // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked. // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code. // The mailman object is used for receiving (POP3) // and sending (SMTP) email. // For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.MailMan') $mailman = new COM("Chilkat.MailMan"); // Set the POP3 server's hostname $mailman->MailHost = 'pop.someMailServer.com'; // Set the POP3 login/password. $mailman->PopUsername = '***'; $mailman->PopPassword = '***'; // You may keep a list of already-seen UIDLs in a text file: // If this is the first time you're running this example, // create an empty text file named "seenUidls.txt" // For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.StringArray') $saSeenUidls = new COM("Chilkat.StringArray"); $success = $saSeenUidls->LoadFromFile('seenUidls.txt'); if ($success != 1) { print 'failed to load seenUidls.txt' . "\n"; exit; } // Get the complete list of UIDLs on the mail server. // saUidls is a Chilkat.StringArray $saUidls = $mailman->GetUidls(); if ($mailman->LastMethodSuccess == 0) { print $mailman->LastErrorText . "\n"; exit; } // Create a new string array object (it's an object, not an actual array) // and add the UIDLs from saUidls that aren't already seen. // For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.StringArray') $saUnseenUidls = new COM("Chilkat.StringArray"); $i = 0; $n = $saUidls->Count; while ($i < $n) { if ($saSeenUidls->Contains($saUidls->getString($i)) != 1) { $success = $saUnseenUidls->Append($saUidls->getString($i)); } $i = $i + 1; } if ($saUnseenUidls->Count == 0) { print 'No unseen emails!' .
