imap_mailboxmsginfoGet information about the current mailbox

Description

imap_mailboxmsginfo(IMAP\Connection $imap): stdClass

Checks the current mailbox status on the server. It is similar to imap_status(), but will additionally sum up the size of all messages in the mailbox, which will take some additional time to execute.

Parameters

An IMAP\Connection instance.

Return Values

Returns the information in an object with following properties:

Mailbox properties
Date date of last change (current datetime)
Driver driver
Mailbox name of the mailbox
Nmsgs number of messages
Recent number of recent messages
Unread number of unread messages

Size mailbox size

Changelog
