Answer 1

I have make the following solution as mail headers already its character set.

$st = imap_fetchstructure($mbox, $no); 
$part = $st->parts[$partno];
$body = imap_fetchbody($mbox, $no, $partno);
$body = imap_qprint($body);
$charset = 'UTF-8';
if(!empty($part->parameters)){
    for ($k = 0, $l = count($part->parameters); $k < $l; $k++) {
        $attribute = $part->parameters[$k];
        if($attribute->attribute == 'CHARSET'){
            $charset = $attribute->value;
        }
    }
}
//echo $charset;
$bodytext = mb_convert_encoding($body,'UTF-8',$charset);

This not full solution. It’s only for character encoding. Mail has different parts for plain text, html text, attachments, etc. for that you should have different handling for each type.
