Cakephp Imap datasource that allows querying the Imap mailboxes of configured account
Based on gwoo and mooose work: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/154300048

Datasource is under development but it basically works.. 


database.php configuration:
=================================================

class DATABASE_CONFIG {

  public $default = array(
	//your default db connection...
  );

  //imap email connection
  public $emailConnection = array(
          'datasource'   => 'imap',
          'host' => 'imap.example.net',
          'connect' => 'imap/notls',
          'login' => 'email@example.net',
          'password' => 'pwd',
          'mailbox' => 'INBOX',
          'port' => '143'
  );

  public $test = array(
          'driver' => 'mysql',
          'persistent' => false,
          'host' => 'localhost',
          'login' => 'user',
          'password' => 'password',
          'database' => 'test_database_name',
          'prefix' => ''
  );
}




model configuration:
=================================================

class CompanyEmail extends AppModel {

  public $name = 'CompanyEmail';
  public $useDbConfig = 'emailConnection';
  public $useTable = false;
  public $displayField = "subject";

  
  //Model::exists()  must return true
  function exists($reset = false) {
    return true;
  }

}

finally in your controller you can retrive email:
=================================================
$emails = $this->CompanyEmail->find('all', array(
    'order' => array('message_date' => 'DESC')
  )
);
