IMAPd

IMAP server (library) written in pure PHP.

Why this project?

Believe it or not, email is still the killer feature of the Internet. There are tons of projects for accessing and fetching emails from an IMAP/POP3 server. But there are not so many providing a programmatically interface to serve emails to an email client.

With this interface you can do something like this for your app users:

User <-> MUA (like Thunderbird) <-> IMAP <-> Your PHP App

This is useful when you have a messaging application written in PHP but no graphical user interface for it. So your graphical user interface can be any email client. Thunderbird for instance.

Installation

The preferred method of installation is via Packagist and Composer. Run the following command to install the package and add it as a requirement to composer.json:

composer.phar require "thefox/imapd=~0.1"

Stand-alone server

  1. Clone project from GitHub.

     git clone https://github.com/TheFox/imapd.git

  2. Install dependencies.

     make

  3. To start a stand-alone server you can type the following command in your shell:

     ./application.php server -d

    To show the usage options use -h:

     ./application.php server -h

    You can change the IP and port. Default port is 20143.

     ./application.php server -a 0.0.0.0 -p 143
