Answer 1

If you need a bit more incase the message string is not always the same you could do this

$string = ' Response: Success Message: Mailbox Message Count Mailbox: 6000 UrgMessages: 0 NewMessages: 5 OldMessages: 12';


preg_match('/OldMessages: (\d+)*/', $string, $oldMessages);
preg_match('/NewMessages: (\d+)*/', $string, $newMessages);
preg_match('/UrgMessages: (\d+)*/', $string, $urgent);
preg_match('/Mailbox: (\d+)*/', $string, $currentMailboxCount);

print 'OLD= '.$oldMessages[1].' NEW='.$newMessages[1].' URGENT='.$urgent[1];

This is all using regex. preg_match

The same methods would apply for the second half of your question.
