imap_getmailboxes
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
imap_getmailboxes — Read the list of mailboxes, returning detailed information on each one
Description
Gets information on the mailboxes.
Parameters
- imap_stream
-
An IMAP stream returned by imap_open().
- ref
-
ref should normally be just the server specification as described in imap_open()
- pattern
-
Specifies where in the mailbox hierarchy to start searching.
There are two special characters you can pass as part of the pattern : '*' and '%'. '*' means to return all mailboxes. If you pass pattern as '*', you will get a list of the entire mailbox hierarchy. '%' means to return the current level only. '%' as the pattern parameter will return only the top level mailboxes; '~/mail/%' on UW_IMAPD will return every mailbox in the ~/mail directory, but none in subfolders of that directory.
Return Values
Returns an array of objects containing mailbox information. Each object has the attributes name , specifying the full name of the mailbox; delimiter , which is the hierarchy delimiter for the part of the hierarchy this mailbox is in; and attributes . Attributes is a bitmask that can be tested against:
- LATT_NOINFERIORS - This mailbox has no "children" (there are no mailboxes below this one).
- LATT_NOSELECT - This is only a container, not a mailbox - you cannot open it.
- LATT_MARKED - This mailbox is marked. Only used by UW-IMAPD.
- LATT_UNMARKED - This mailbox is not marked. Only used by UW-IMAPD.
