[SOLVED] IMAP - Deleting Messages

Recommended Posts

I've got my script nearly working.  The only thing left is figuring out why it won't delete messages.

 

My script reads through all the messages in specified email boxes, processes them and is SUPPOSED to delete them when complete.  However it marks them as seen but then doesn't mark the message as deleted.

 

I tried the following code to see if I could figure out what's going on.

 

It doesn't delete them either and doesn't give any errors.

 

<?php
function deleteMsgs($username, $pass){
  if($mbox = imap_open ("{localhost:143/notls}INBOX", $username,$pass)){
    if($msgs = imap_search($mbox, "SEEN",SE_UID)){
      print "<pre>";
      print_r($msgs);
      print "</pre>";
      foreach ($msgs as $msg){
        imap_delete($mbox, $msg);
      }
      imap_expunge($mbox);
    }
  }
}
deleteMsgs("username","password");
?>

 

Loading it in Firefox, I get the following:

 

Array

(

    [0] => 79

    [1] => 80

    [2] => 81

    [3] => 82

    [4] => 83

    [5] => 84

    [6] => 85

)
