PHP Internet Message Access Protocol (Pimap)

A PHP Library for communication with IMAP Servers.

Rationale

When communication with an IMAP email server involves a high amount of latency, it helps to be able to hand craft commands, so that we can reduce the quantity of commands being sent to the server. The PHP IMAP extension does not offer such control over the transport layer of the IMAP protocol. This library replaces the PHP IMAP extension and provides full control over the entire process.

Features

• Fewer combined calls
• Decrease latency
• Command builder
• IMAP Connection Manager
• IMAP Response Interpreters
• Pipeline for caching commands and responses
• PSR 3 logger aware
• Mock objects for automated testing

Compliant

• RFC 3501 IMAP version 4rev1
• RFC 2822 Internet Message Format
• RFC 2045 Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions

Dependencies

Dependencies are managed by composer. Please see the composer.json file for a complete list of dependencies.

Getting Help

All the documentation is situated in the docs directory. The documentation in this project is written in markdown and generated using Daux.io.

Generate Documentation

To build the documentation

cd /path/to/pimap/
./vendor/bin/daux

open the generated static/index.html file.

Host Documentation

When updating the documentation, it helps to be able to see a live copy of your changes. Daux.io provides a built-in web server.

cd /path/to/pimap/
./vendor/bin/daux serve

this command will output something similar to:

Daux development server started on http://localhost:8085/

in this case, you can access http://localhost:8085/ in your web browser.
