Getting a MailBox instance
<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
//Gmail
$MailBox = EmailMD\MailBoxFactory::gmail(
'yourusername@gmail.com',
'yourpassword'
);
//Hotmail / live / msn
$MailBox = EmailMD\MailBoxFactory::live(
'yourusername@live.com',
'yourpassword'
);
//Yahoo
$MailBox = EmailMD\MailBoxFactory::yahoo(
'yourusername@yahoo.com',
'yourpassword'
);
//Other pop3
$MailBox = EmailMD\MailBoxFactory::make(
'{localhost:110/pop3}INBOX',
'yourusername@site.com',
'yourpassword'
);
//Other imap
$MailBox = EmailMD\MailBoxFactory::make(
'{localhost:993/imap/ssl}INBOX',
'yourusername@site.com',
'yourpassword'
);
?>
Basic usage
<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
//Gmail
$MailBox = EmailMD\MailBoxFactory::gmail(
'yourusername@gmail.com',
'yourpassword'
);
$MailBox->reverse();//Newest message first
$MailBox->filterSince(new DateTime());//Just message recieved today
//Get messages
foreach ( $MailBox as $messageNumber => $message ) {
echo 'Message number: ' . $messageNumber . PHP_EOL;
echo $message->getSubject() . PHP_EOL;
}
?>
Getting just some messages
<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
//instance
$MailBox = EmailMD\MailBoxFactory::gmail(
'yourusername@gmail.com',
'yourpassword'
);
//Get some messages
$limit = 10;
foreach ( $MailBox as $messageNumber => $message ) {
echo 'Message number: ' . $messageNumber . PHP_EOL;
echo $message->getSubject() . PHP_EOL;
$limit--;
if ( $limit < 1 ) {
break;
}
}
?>
Getting messages recieved since a specific date
<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
//instance
$MailBox = EmailMD\MailBoxFactory::gmail(
'yourusername@gmail.com',
'yourpassword'
);
//Since today
$MailBox->filterSince(new DateTime());
foreach ( $MailBox as $messageNumber => $message ) {
echo 'Message number: ' . $messageNumber . PHP_EOL;
echo $message->getSubject() . PHP_EOL;
}
//Since yesterday
$MailBox->filterSince(new DateTime('-1 days'));
foreach ( $MailBox as $messageNumber => $message ) {
echo 'Message number: ' . $messageNumber . PHP_EOL;
echo $message->getSubject() . PHP_EOL;
}
?>
Getting messages in reverse order
By default the mailbox will return the oldest messages first. But sometimes we need to get the newest messages first, to do so we need to call the "MailBox::reverse" method one time.
<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
//instance
$MailBox = EmailMD\MailBoxFactory::gmail(
'yourusername@gmail.com',
'yourpassword'
);
$MailBox->reverse();//Now we get the newest first
//Since today
$MailBox->filterSince(new DateTime());
foreach ( $MailBox as $messageNumber => $message ) {
echo 'Message number: ' . $messageNumber . PHP_EOL;
echo $message->getSubject() . PHP_EOL;
}
$MailBox->reverse();//Now we get the oldest first
?>
