A PHP library for connecting to mailboxes via POP3, IMAP, and NNTP using the PHP IMAP extension. It enables fetching, filtering, sorting, marking, and deleting emails, including attachments and inline images, and managing mailbox folders.
Use cases
- fetch emails from an imap server in php
- download email attachments with php
- delete or mark emails as read programmatically
- filter and sort incoming emails by custom criteria
- manage mailbox folders from a php application
- build a php app that processes incoming mail
When to choose
- you need IMAP/POP3/NNTP mailbox access in PHP
- you want a mature, MIT-licensed library with active support for PHP 8.2+
- you need attachment and inline image handling out of the box
When to avoid
- your project runs on PHP below 8.2
- you cannot install the PHP ext-imap extension
- you need SMTP sending rather than mailbox reading
