imap_mailboxmsginfo — Get 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

imap: 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
Deleted	number of deleted messages
Size	mailbox size

Changelog

Version	Description
8.1.0	The `imap` parameter expects an IMAP\Connection instance now; previously, a valid `imap` resource was expected.
