How can I specify a single folder?

[Amos1st]

Hello,
I can get all folders through $client->getFolders() , but if I would like to specify a single one, example INBOX, how can I do for it? like this: foreach the mailboxes and then judge the condition if ($mailbox->name === 'INBOX') ? pls give me some advise!

look forward your reply, thanks in advance

Hello, I did it that way, maybe it would help you.

    $oClient->connect();

    $folder = new Folder($oClient, (object)['name' => '{$host/imap/novalidate-cert/ssl}INBOX', 'attributes' => 32, 'delimiter' => '.']);

    $messages = $oClient->getMessages($folder, 'SINCE '.Carbon::parse(date('Y-m-d'))->subDays(5)->format('Y-m-d'));

Hi @Amos1st ,
I don't think its currently possible but I would like to implement a feature which would allow such a behavior.

Inspired by @GuiAndra it might look like something similar to this:

$oClient->connect();
$oFolder = \Webklex\Facade\Folder::get('INBOX.sample');
$aMessage = $oClient->getMessages($folder, ....);

Hi @Amos1st ,
please update to v. 1.0.3.11 and take a look at the new README.md. I added a new Funktion to the Client class in order to get a folder instance by name.

Short description:

use Webklex\IMAP\Facades\Client;

/** @var \Webklex\IMAP\Client $oClient */
$oClient = Client::account('default');
$oClient->connect();

/** @var \Webklex\IMAP\Folder $oFolder */
$oFolder = $oClient->getFolder('INBOX.name');

/** @var \Webklex\IMAP\Message $oMessage */
foreach($oFolder->getMessages() as $oMessage){
    echo $oMessage->subject.'<br />';
}

Best regards
