imap_mail_compose
If you use this function and you get the following notice:
Notice: Unknown: IMAP protocol error: Could not parse command (errflg=2) in Unknown on line 0
Notice: Unknown: Could not parse command (errflg=2) in Unknown on line 0
you should check the function parameters. This notice appears (according to what I found on the internet and my problems) when it gets an invalid $msglist. So be sure to give the right number (as a String!):
"$msg_num", $msg_num or (string) $msg_num.
Dont use '$msg_num' when calling the function, this will literally send the string $msg_num.
You can give a string like "1,3,5,7,8", which will work perfectly fine to move the given mails.
I had all my mailnumbers in an array ( $messageSet) and used
<?php
$messageSetImpl = implode ( "," , $messageSet );
imap_mail_copy( $imapStream, $messageSetImpl, $mailBox )
?>
What I hadn't had thougt of was that my $messageSet was sometimes empty, that was when I got the notice. So you might want to check that by putting first:
<?php
if ( !( empty( $messageSet ) ) ) {
$messageSetImpl = implode ( "," , $messageSet );
imap_mail_copy( $imapStream, $messageSetImpl, $mailBox )
}
?>
That should work.

imap_ mail_ move and imap_mail_copy don't work with sequence numbers on MS Exchange. imap_ uid in combination with CP_UID works fine.

If you are having problems getting imap_mail_copy and imap_mail_move to work, check you have installed imap_devel (the imap development libraries) as well as imap (the imap daemon). Without it, PHP appears to configure correctly --with-imap, but some functions do not work.
It took me about 12 hours to figure this out!!

After much fooling around, imap_mail_copy did work for me. One thing you might want to check, if you are having problems, is the new mailbox name. Make sure it is just a folder name, e.g. INBOX.haha without the server part.

when you list your mailbox,you have to decode the mailbox name, use imap_utf7_decode();
for example:
//----------------------------------------------------
$host="localhost";
$port=143;
$ht="{".$host.":".$port."/imap/notls}INBOX";
$mbox=imap_open($ht,$my_user,$my_pass)or die("can't open mail ");
$mail_list=imap_listmailbox($mbox,$ht,"*");
sort($mail_list);
foreach($mail_list as $k=>$v)
{
$v_list=explode("}",$v);
echo imap_utf7_decode(str_replace("INBOX.","",$v_list[1]));
echo "<BR>";
}
