(Mail) Pop3: Remove Message

[DerDu]

If i try to remove a message, what number (uid) i have to provide?

If i do getEmails( 1, 1 ) it should return $Message #1 right?

• So remove( 1 ) has to (at least) mark it as deleted

= won't work

• So i switched to $Message['Id']: remove( '<some strange id here>' )

= won't work

Am I doing it wrong, or is something broken?

PS: There is no field $Message['Uid'] as in imap message

@DerDu, did you set the mailbox? There has to be an active mailbox in order for it to delete.
Example:
$remove = eden('mail')->
imap('imap.gmail.com', '[EMAIL-ADDRESS]', '[PASSWORD]', 993, true)->
setActiveMailbox('INBOX')
->remove('1');

@Sherlonv, yes - i switched to imap because it's working :-)

But my question is about Pop3, which i can't get to delete a message from (exact same) server...

[Sherlonv]

How did you try Pop3 and on what domain?
I tried it using Gmail then I had to alter my settings to allow POP.

You also have to connect() first then remove(), and if you want the changes to reflect immediately you have to disconnect().

@Sherlonv Thats what i'am doing (just as the documentation-example does).. everything works as i expect.. except removing a message...

I realized another missing feature in imap.. :-( ...
remove() just sets the deleted flag to a message, but there is no expung function to remove it permanently .. so i end up with a stuffed mailbox... sad

[DerDu]

🥇 closed != solved, there is an expunge method, but it's not working because of wrong usage within imap protocol (missing close command).. sry
