(PHP 4, PHP 5)
bool imap_delete ( int imap_stream, int msg_number [, int options] )

imap_close() is called with the optional parameter
CL_EXPUNGE.
Parameters
- imap_stream
An IMAP stream returned by imap_open().
- msg_number
The message number
- options
You can set the
FT_UIDwhich tells the function to treat the msg_number argument as anUID.
Examples
Example 1047. imap_delete() example
<?php
$mbox = imap_open("{imap.example.org}INBOX", "username", "password")
or die("Can't connect: " . imap_last_error());
$check = imap_mailboxmsginfo($mbox);
echo "Messages before delete: " . $check->Nmsgs . "<br />\n";
imap_delete($mbox, 1);
$check = imap_mailboxmsginfo($mbox);
echo "Messages after delete: " . $check->Nmsgs . "<br />\n";
imap_expunge($mbox);
$check = imap_mailboxmsginfo($mbox);
echo "Messages after expunge: " . $check->Nmsgs . "<br />\n";
imap_close($mbox);
?>
Notes
Note:
POP3 mailboxes do not have their message flags saved between connections, so imap_expunge() must be called during the same connection in order for messages marked for deletion to actually be purged.
