<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

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

$imap = new CkImap();

//  Turn on session logging:
$imap->put_KeepSessionLog(true);

//  Connect to an IMAP server.
//  Use TLS
$imap->put_Ssl(true);
$imap->put_Port(993);
$success = $imap->Connect('imap.example.com');
if ($success == false) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

//  Login
$success = $imap->Login('myLogin','myPassword');
if ($success == false) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

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

//  Get the complete set of Uids for email in the selected mailbox.
$messageSet = new CkMessageSet();
$success = $imap->QueryMbx('ALL',true,$messageSet);
if ($success == false) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

//  Set the Deleted flag for each message.
//  (ExpungeAndClose must be called to finalize the delete.)
$success = $imap->SetFlags($messageSet,'Deleted',1);
if ($success == false) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

//  Alternatively, the Deleted flag may be set for each UID
//  individiually, but this is less efficient:
$i = 0;
$n = $messageSet->get_Count();
while ($i < $n) {
    $success = $imap->SetFlag($messageSet->GetId($i),$messageSet->get_HasUids(),'Deleted',1);
    if ($success == false) {
        print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\n";
        exit;
    }

    $i = $i + 1;
}

//  Expunge and close the mailbox.
$success = $imap->ExpungeAndClose();
if ($success == false) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

//  Display the session log.
print $imap->sessionLog() . "\n";

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