    I am using the imap_search function to return an array of unseen messages but all the messages are returned. I only want to show unread messages but the code returns all the messages (numbers) in the mailbox. Thanks in advance for your help. Below is the code. $result = imap_search($imap,'UNSEEN'); foreach ($result as $value) { echo " the unseen message number is"; echo "
    "; echo $value; echo "
    "; }

      Your code looks OK - could it be something strange about the server configuration? I just tried this code to get IMAP unread numbers from our exchange server and it worked fine.

      <?php
      $himap = imap_open ('{some.server.ac.uk:143}INBOX', 'username', 'password');

      $result = imap_search ($himap, 'UNSEEN');

      if(is_array($result))
      {
      foreach ($result as $value)
      {
      echo "Unseen message number $value<br/>";
      }
      }
      else
      echo 'No unseen messages';
      ?>

        Thanks for the help Niall. I tried yours as well it returned all the messages. In case you might have an idea, what possible server configuration could be causing this. Regards Nath

          I'm afraid I don't know much about IMAP servers, so can't help there. Niall

            Could there problem be because I am using pop3 driver to access the emails. I am using the code below: $MAILSRV="mail.somewhere.com:110/pop3/notls"; $imap = imap_open ("{".$MAILSRV."}INBOX", "someemail@somewhere.com", "password");

              I'm surprised that works at all - POP3 and IMAP are quite different. I don't think a POP3 server keeps any information on which messages are read however, so unless you have IMAP mailboxes configured on the server you will just get a list of all messages.

It is quite intimidating at first, but you present the information in a way that is truly easy to follow. Thank you so much for this. I am learning so much. Deficiency Judgment
