fMailbox - Get latest emails

[gemal]

I'm writing a app that needs to get the latest 10 emails from a huge inbox.

Using your class is very good, but it needs to parse all mesages in the inbox.

I could really need a function that could get me the latest 10 UIDs which I can the itterate over.

I could imagine that others also needed this.

Let me know if you need a patch.
Shouldn't that difficult since the code is already there

[novastream]

found this solution, works pretty good

fMailbox.php

public function listMessages($limit=NULL, $page=NULL, $order='newest')

Add this to IMAP and POP function inside listMessages

$total_messages = 0;
$response = $this->write('STATUS "'.$folder.'" (MESSAGES)');
foreach ($response as $line) {
    if (preg_match('#^\s*\*\s+STATUS\s+"?'.$folder.'"?\s+\((.*)\)$#', $line, $match)) {
        $details = self::parseResponse($match[1], TRUE);
        $total_messages = $details['messages'];
    }
}

if (!$limit) {
    $start = 1;
    $end   = '*';
} else {
    if (!$page) {
        $page = 1;
    }
    if ($order == 'newest') {
        $start = $total_messages - $limit * $page + 1;
        $end   = $start + $limit - 1;
    } else {
        $start = ($limit * ($page-1)) + 1;
        $end   = $start + $limit - 1;
    }
}

and just above the return $output, add this

if ($order == 'newest') {
     arsort($output);
}

if you try it out, please tell us how the performance was, I'm grabbing 10 emails from a inbox with 4000 messages in 1 second.

@novastream Where does $folder come from?

[novastream]

oh sorry forgot that...

public function listMessages($limit=NULL, $page=NULL, $order='newest', $folder=NULL)

and than just above the larger pice of code add

if(!isset($folder)) {
$folder = 'INBOX';
}

if you want to fetch other folders just pass them in $folder like $folder = 'INBOX.SENT';

if you want you can check out my updated fMailbox.php, I've added sorting, folders and counting messages.

@novastream Thanks for your fork! 👍 But one thing you have missed is to select the folder, bacause that is required to fetch the messages from the folder:

Line 1239 - https://github.com/novastream/flourish-imap/blob/master/flourish/fMailbox.php#L1239

$this->write('SELECT "'.$folder.'"');

Here I found a very nice cheatsheet: http://donsutherland.org/crib/imap

Have you added any function to get a list of all folders? And would be cool if you can push all the changes you made - and I think that the Folder change is something that can be merged in the main repo!?
