I have tried a number of ways to get a file to move out of the INBOX after I process it, but it seems all the PHP methods for imap_mail_copy, and imap_mail_move are not firing for me. Why imap_delete works and the others don't is a mystery to me.
This is what I have tried:
<?
$imap = imap_open("{mail.myserver.com:995/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert}", "sample@myserver.com", "password");
if( $imap ) {
$num = imap_num_msg($imap);
if( $num >0 ) {
//imap_copy($imap, $num, "INBOX.Drafts"); --> illegal function
//imap_mail_copy($imap, $num, "INBOX.Drafts"); --> throws "Copy not valid for POP3 (errflg=2)" error
//imap_mail_copy($imap, $num, "INBOX/Drafts"); --> throws "Copy not valid for POP3 (errflg=2)" error
//imap_mail_copy($imap, $num, "Drafts"); --> throws "Copy not valid for POP3 (errflg=2)" error
//imap_mail_move($imap, $num, "INBOX.Drafts"); --> throws "Copy not valid for POP3 (errflg=2)" error
//imap_mail_move($imap, $num, "INBOX/Drafts"); --> throws "Copy not valid for POP3 (errflg=2)" error
//imap_mail_move($imap, $num, "Drafts"); --> throws "Copy not valid for POP3 (errflg=2)" error
//imap_delete($imap, $num); --> this works, but I lose the email, which I dont want
imap_expunge($imap);
}
imap_close($imap);
}
?>
I was wondering, since 'imap_delete' works, maybe there is some other php function that can move or copy the email to another folder.
The solution has to do with the server syntax, not the PHP code:
$host="{myserver.com:143/notls}";
$user="sample@myserver.com";
$pass="password";
$imap=imap_open( $host, $user, $pass );
This works with the Horde webmail
