imap_mail_move - Move specified messages to a mailbox
Manual

imap_mail_move(
     IMAP\Connection$imap,
     string$message_nums,
     string$mailbox,
     [int$flags = 0]
): bool

Moves mail messages specified by message_nums to the specified mailbox. Note that the mail messages are actually copied to the mailbox, and the original messages are flagged for deletion. That implies that the messages in mailbox are assigned new UIDs.

Parameters

imap

An IMAP\Connection instance.

message_nums

message_nums is a range not just message numbers (as described in RFC2060).

mailbox

The mailbox name, see imap_open for more information

Warning:

Passing untrusted data to this parameter is insecure, unless imap.enable_insecure_rsh is disabled.

flags

flags is a bitmask and may contain the single option:

CP_UID - the sequence numbers contain UIDS

Return Values

Returns true on success or false on failure.

Notes

Note:

imap_mail_move will flag the original mail with a delete flag, to successfully delete it a call to the imap_expunge function must be made.

Changelog
