Question

I want to get emails from gmail, but I want to get the folder ‘All Mail’

I have the following:

$server = '{imap.gmail.com:993/ssl}';
$user = 'myUser';
$password = 'myPassword';
$connection = imap_open($server, $user, $password);
$count = imap_num_msg($connection);
echo $count;

The echo however is echoing the emails in the inbox only, how can I make it read a certain folder, or all the folders?

Thank you!

Use this to get all mail:

$server = '{imap.gmail.com:993/ssl}[Gmail]/All Mail';

We went round and round on this awhile; see here:

As stated here, use imap_list to see which individual folders are available
