Getting a MailBox instance

    //Gmail
    $MailBox = EmailMD\MailBoxFactory::gmail(
        '[email protected]',
        'yourpassword'
    );

    //Hotmail / live / msn
    $MailBox = EmailMD\MailBoxFactory::live(
        '[email protected]',
        'yourpassword'
    );

    //Yahoo
    $MailBox = EmailMD\MailBoxFactory::yahoo(
        '[email protected]',
        'yourpassword'
    );

    //Other pop3
    $MailBox = EmailMD\MailBoxFactory::make(
        '{localhost:110/pop3}INBOX',
        '[email protected]',
        'yourpassword'
    );

    //Other imap
    $MailBox = EmailMD\MailBoxFactory::make(
        '{localhost:993/imap/ssl}INBOX',
        '[email protected]',
        'yourpassword'
    );
?>

Basic usage

<?php
    require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
    //Gmail
    $MailBox = EmailMD\MailBoxFactory::gmail(
        '[email protected]',
        'yourpassword'
    );

    $MailBox->reverse();//Newest message first
    $MailBox->filterSince(new DateTime());//Just message recieved today
    //Get messages
    foreach ( $MailBox as $messageNumber => $message ) {
        echo 'Message number: ' . $messageNumber . PHP_EOL;
        echo $message->getSubject() . PHP_EOL;
    }
?>

Getting just some messages

<?php
    require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
    //instance
    $MailBox = EmailMD\MailBoxFactory::gmail(
        '[email protected]',
        'yourpassword'
    );

    //Get some messages
    $limit = 10;
    foreach ( $MailBox as $messageNumber => $message ) {
        echo 'Message number: ' . $messageNumber . PHP_EOL;
        echo $message->getSubject() . PHP_EOL;
        $limit--;
        if ( $limit < 1 ) {
            break;
        }
    }
?>

Getting messages recieved since a specific date

<?php
    require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
    //instance
    $MailBox = EmailMD\MailBoxFactory::gmail(
        '[email protected]',
        'yourpassword'
    );

    //Since today
    $MailBox->filterSince(new DateTime());
    foreach ( $MailBox as $messageNumber => $message ) {
        echo 'Message number: ' . $messageNumber . PHP_EOL;
        echo $message->getSubject() . PHP_EOL;
    }
    //Since yesterday
    $MailBox->filterSince(new DateTime('-1 days'));
    foreach ( $MailBox as $messageNumber => $message ) {
        echo 'Message number: ' . $messageNumber . PHP_EOL;
        echo $message->getSubject() . PHP_EOL;
    }
?>

Getting messages in reverse order

By default the mailbox will return the oldest messages first. But sometimes we need to get the newest messages first, to do so we need to call the "MailBox::reverse" method one time.

<?php
    require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
    //instance
    $MailBox = EmailMD\MailBoxFactory::gmail(
        '[email protected]',
        'yourpassword'
    );
    $MailBox->reverse();//Now we get the newest first

    //Since today
    $MailBox->filterSince(new DateTime());
    foreach ( $MailBox as $messageNumber => $message ) {
        echo 'Message number: ' . $messageNumber . PHP_EOL;
        echo $message->getSubject() . PHP_EOL;
    }
    $MailBox->reverse();//Now we get the oldest first
?>
