I have used this function to copy all the emails of one account from one server to another. The problem was that this function don't copy the original receiving date for each message.
To add a fifth field to provide the date, I have made some changes at some php source files following the steps described in http://www.zend.com/lists/php-dev/200303/msg00843.html and it has worked fine.
The correct date format is the returned by the function mail_date in c-client/mail.c source file, for instance: "17-Jan-2007 10:00:01 +0100"
imap_append
(PHP 4, PHP 5)

パラメータ
- imap_stream
imap_open() が返す IMAP ストリーム。

The parameter description is misleading. You can pass a string of flags such as '\Seen' [see imap_setflag_full()] as the last argument. In the other imap functions, 'options' seems to usually refer to a bitmask, not message flags.

I use imap_append() to decode message/rfc822 attachments type(embedded emails):
$attachment = imap_fetchbody($mbox,$mailuid,$atpos,FT_UID);
$attachment = imap_base64($attachment);
$res = imap_append($mbox,mboxspec("INBOX"),$attachment);
//the embedded email is now a normal mail in my INBOX

$app = imap_append($stream,"{" . $connectstring . "}INBOX.Sent","$header\r\n" ."$mbody\r\n");
if (!$app) {
error("Email copying to Sent folder FAILED!");
}

With SIMS IMAP server you also need to use \r\n as a line terminator, otherwise you will be able to add all the header lines correctly, but the body of the message will not be saved.<br>
You can use \n by itself for each header line, but when creating the blank line between the headers and the body you must use \r\n\r\n

Please observe that imap_append() do not support NNTP posting. Use fsockopen() instead, and do the work yourself.
