A simple way to fix encoded subject/from header problem and strip whitespace:
<?php
function fix_text($var){
if(ereg("=\?.{0,}\?[Bb]\?",$var)){
$var = split("=\?.{0,}\?[Bb]\?",$var);
while(list($key,$value)=each($var)){
if(ereg("\?=",$value)){
$arrTemp=split("\?=",$value);
$arrTemp[0]=base64_decode($arrTemp[0]);
$var[$key]=join("",$arrTemp);
}}
$var=join("",$var);
}
if(ereg("=\?.{0,}\?Q\?",$var)){
$var = quoted_printable_decode($var);
$var = ereg_replace("=\?.{0,}\?[Qq]\?","",$var);
$var = ereg_replace("\?=","",$var);
}
return trim($var);
}
?>
Ex.
<?php
//For =?iso-8859-1?Q Problem
echo $title;
//show: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Boletim:_Motiva=E7=E3o
//,_Gest=E3o_&_Vendas_-_Gilcl=E9r_Regi?=
//=?iso-8859-1?Q?na?=
echo fix_text($title);
//show: na?
?>

To convert date format from mail header to dd/mm/yyyy H:i use this :
<?
$tgl1 = strtotime($msg->date); //convert to timestamp
$tgl2 = date("d/m/Y H:i",$tgl1); //format date from timestamp
echo $tgl2;
?>
hope this help :)

if you need to grab other fields that are not parsed out by imap_header then use
imap_fetchheader to retrieve the entire email header and do the work yourself.

I just wanted to state what all these variables were producing considering it isnt documented anywhere that I have been able to find on this site:
the object that imap_mailboxmsgs returns has the following fields for the pop3 driver:
array(
Unread =>
Deleted =>
Nmsgs =>
Size=>
Date=>
Driver=>
Mailbox=>
Recent=>
)
imap_header returns the following array for the pop3 driver:
stdClass Object (
date=>
Date=>
subject=>
Subject=>
toaddress=>
to=> array stdClass Object (
mailbox=>
host=>
)
fromaddress=>
from=> array stdClass Object (
personal=>
mailbox=>
host=>
)
reply_toaddress=>
reply_to=> array stdClass Object (
personal=>
mailbox=>
host=>
)
senderaddress=>
sender => array stdClass Object (
personal=>
mailbox=>
host=>
)
Recent=>
Unseen=>
Flagged=>
Answered=>
Deleted=>
Draft=>
Msgno=>
MailDate=>
Size=>
udate=>
)
Also, if you are using a pop3 server and you are having difficulties deleting messages, you will need to call imap_expunge immediately after your call to imap_delete. (this was posted somewhere else.. thanks for that!!)
feel free to drop me a line if this helped you. Happy coding.

A way to print your own specified date:
$date = date('d F Y (G:i:s)',
strtotime(strip_tags($headerinfo->udate)));

It is explained else where on the site but something I struggled with.
To find the size of a message use:
$sizefeed1 = imap_fetchstructure($feed,$messagenumber);
$sizefeed2 = $sizefeed1->bytes;
$size = "$sizefeed2 bytes";

I've got a problem when facing some encoded subject or from header like:
=?big5?B?uXG4o7ZXpEg3MTEw?= or
=?iso-8859-1?Q?A7=EB=B2=BC=B6=7D=A9l=21?=
this problem only appears when the poster is using non-Misco$oft reader, and i lastly find the way to solve.
For the =?big5?B?, the encode method is base64, so you can use base64_decode to decode it to the original one, you can use the following to check and decode:
<?php
if(ereg("=\?.{0,}\?[Bb]\?",$strHead)){
$arrHead=split("=\?.{0,}\?[Bb]\?",$strHead);
while(list($key,$value)=each($arrHead)){
if(ereg("\?=",$value)){
$arrTemp=split("\?=",$value);
$arrTemp[0]=base64_decode($arrTemp[0]);
$arrHead[$key]=join("",$arrTemp);
}
}
$strHead=join("",$arrHead);
}
?>
For =?iso-8859-1?Q?, it uses quoted printable to encode, you can use quoted_printable_decode to decode, example:
<?php
if(ereg("=\?.{0,}\?Q\?",$strHead)){
$strHead=quoted_printable_decode($strHead);
$strHead=ereg_replace("=\?.{0,}\?[Qq]\?","",$strHead);
$strHead=ereg_replace("\?=","",$strHead);
}
?>

here's something even easier:
<br>
<pre>
$header = imap_header($mail_connection, msgnum);
$from = htmlspecialchars($header->fromaddress);
echo $from;
</pre>

If you want to retrieve From address, not From name, use this:
$from=$header->from; $fromaddr=sprintf("%s@%s",$from[0]->mailbox,$from[0]->host);

Yes, the ref. is quit confusing (to me at least). It will be wise (after spent many hours) to test the type of variable first before it disappointe you. I find $header->From retrurns String, $header->from returns array and its elements are object. Therefore if you want get sender's name for example,
you need: $from = $header->from;
if (is_array($from)){
while(list($key, $val) = each($from)) {
echo $from[0]->personal;
echo $from[0]->adl;
echo $from[0]->mailbox;
echo $from[0]->host;
}
}
you will find $header_from is an one element array and this element is an object. Hope anyone else will not wast time here to figure out why retrun is empty.
