phpmailerHow do I use PHPMailer with IMAP?


PHPMailer is an open-source library for sending emails from PHP. It provides an easy-to-use interface for sending emails with IMAP, a mail protocol used for accessing email on a remote server.

To use PHPMailer with IMAP, you need to first create an instance of PHPMailer and then set the host, port, username, and password for the IMAP server.

<?php
// Create a new PHPMailer instance
$mail = new PHPMailer;

// Set the IMAP host
$mail->Host = 'imap.example.com';

// Set the IMAP port
$mail->Port = 993;

// Set the IMAP username
$mail->Username = '[email protected]';

// Set the IMAP password
$mail->Password = 'password';

// Connect to the IMAP server
$mail->connect();

// Output: true
echo $mail->isConnected();
?>

Output example

true

The code above:

  • Creates a new instance of PHPMailer ($mail = new PHPMailer;)
  • Sets the host, port, username, and password for the IMAP server ($mail->Host, $mail->Port, $mail->Username, $mail->Password)
  • Connects to the IMAP server ($mail->connect())
  • Outputs the result of the connection (echo $mail->isConnected())
