imap_header doesn't work with message uid #26

oliverkaiser · 2013-11-30T15:55:47Z

Hi,

nothing is working anymore for me.

ErrorException
imap_header(): Bad message number

my research has shown me that
imap_header()
http://us1.php.net/manual/en/function.imap-headerinfo.php doesn't work with uid ...

think a decision is needed if the slower imap_fetchheader should be used within the getHeaders function

This is a comment on php.net:
"I typically use UID's to identify messages, and recently discovered that the headers I had been pulling using this function and a message-number didn't match the UID's. Instead of worrying about it, I just began using imap_fetchheader() and imap_ rfc822_ parse_ headers() on its output. The only significant difference I immediately noticed was that there is no "udate" property, so I assigned one with the result of strtotime() on the 'date' property.

sorry, don't know what it is but it seems like I have a "broken" message in my mailbox that is making trouble. Will get back on this soon.

oliverkaiser · 2013-11-30T19:02:21Z

ok, seems like some messages are processed correctly (so it basically works) but my 4th message (processing mailbox->getMessages() ...) is making trouble on loading the headers.

messageNumber is set. But probably there is something wrong and the message can not be identified by imap_header()

just tried a short switch to use
imap_fetchheader() and imap_rfc822_arse_headers() but this is missing the following fields compared to imap_header():

flags
msgno
size
Maildate
udate
fetchfrom
fetchsubject

Can you try to write a failing test case with your fourth message?

actually I am not sure how I could mock it because I can't exactly describe what is wrong. If you want I could send you the login to my testing mailbox, so you can also take a look on it.

ddeboer · 2013-12-01T10:53:21Z

Does imap_fetchheader instead of imap_header work on the problematic message (except for the missing properties)?

Or you can paste the source of your message here, so I can have a look. We can then use (parts of) that source for a test case.

oliverkaiser · 2013-12-01T11:23:08Z

Not sure because it breaks the script already at the first message because of the missing properties.

I got it working and pushed it to https://github.com/kaiserlos/imap

After fixing the first (imap_header) problem I got into another problem based on my first email in the list (that worked before my imap_header fix). On parsing the header to recipients there where cases where the host property wasn't set and also one array part which does not have mailbox, host and personal set). I fixed this with the second commit on my fork.

Haven't made a pull request for now because I am not sure if everything is still correct.

I can verify this problem exists for me too. Applying @kaiserlos patch fixes it.

mbohlaender · 2014-01-16T15:36:38Z

Please merge this fix and update bring out a new version

xeoncross · 2014-01-16T15:52:14Z

The pull request #29 fixes this issue

pavlepredic · 2014-04-24T08:14:05Z

Fix https://github.com/kaiserlos/imap/commit/83bc9813e646859a43dca8863bcd1fb09e5dacaa indeed seems to do the trick. What is the status of this patch? Do you plan to merge it? It's clearly broken the way it is now and even if it appears to work, it's probably fetching wrong emails all the time...

DanyHenriquez · 2014-06-28T20:04:56Z

Confirmed for me too. Can we merge so it is easy to get the fixed package with packagist?

ysramirez · 2014-08-11T04:41:30Z

If you have
$result = $mailbox
->getMessages(new SearchExpression()) // get Messages work with UID
->current()
;
and then if you try to:
$result->getSubject()

you have poblems because the

      $headers = \imap_header($this->stream, $this->messageNumber);

are working with the number of the message not the UID

ysramirez · 2014-08-11T19:25:11Z

Now is fixed with #44 thanks @ddeboer
