How to search for a specific message with Webklex/PHPIMAP?

To search for a specific message with Webklex/PHPIMAP, you can use the IMAP SEARCH command. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Connect to the IMAP server using PHPIMAP:

$mailbox = imap_open("{imap.example.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX", $username, $password);

2. Set up the search criteria using the IMAP SEARCH function:

$search_criteria = "ALL"; // Search for all messages
// To search for a specific message, use the following format:
// "SUBJECT <message subject>" or "BODY <message body>"
// For example, to search for a message with the subject "Important Message":
$search_criteria = "SUBJECT Important Message";

$messages = imap_search($mailbox, $search_criteria);

3. Check if any messages were found:

if ($messages) {
    // Process the search results
    // ...
} else {
    // No messages found
    // ...
}

4. Fetch the message data:

$message_number = 1; // Replace with the number of the message you want to fetch
$message = imap_fetchheader($mailbox, $message_number);
$message_data = imap_fetchbody($mailbox, $message_number, FT_TEXT);

5. Display the message data:

echo $message; // Display the message headers
echo $message_data; // Display the message body

6. Close the connection to the IMAP server:

imap_close($mailbox);

This is a basic example of how to search for a specific message using Webklex/PHPIMAP. You can modify the search criteria to fit your specific use case, such as searching for messages with specific keywords in the body or from a specific sender.
