Again, you use open_mailbox() to open the user’s mailbox.This time, however, you are
after a specific message. Using this function library, you download the message headers
and message body separately.
The three IMAP functions used here are imap_header(), imap_fetchheader(), and
imap_body(). Note that the two header functions are distinct from imap_headers(), the
one used previously.They are somewhat confusingly named.To summarize
n imap_headers()—Returns a summary of the headers for all the messages in a
mailbox. It returns them as an array with one element per message.
n imap_header()—Returns the headers for one specific message in the form of an
object.
n imap_fetchheader()—Returns the headers for one specific message in the form
of a string.
In this case, you use imap_header() to fill out specific header fields and imap_
fetchheader() to show the user the full headers if requested. (We come back to this
topic later.)
You use imap_header() and imap_body() to build an array containing all the elements
of a message that you are interested in.You call imap_header() as follows:
$header = imap_header($imap, $messageid);
