WeberDev.com -> PHP Manual -> List all the subscribed mailboxes

Description

array imap_getsubscribed ( resource $imap_stream , string $ref , string $pattern )

Gets information on the subscribeds mailboxes.

Identical to imap_getmailboxes(), except that it only returns mailboxes that the user is subscribed to.

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.
