使用PHP检索（仅未读）通过IMAP或POP3发送的电子邮件

Question

Is there any way to retrieve only unread messages from a 3rd party server (e.g. hotmail) thru POP3 or IMAP protocol using PHP?

Answer 1

Yes, there is a way to do what you're asking. You'll need to use PHP's IMAP extension to process the email data. Here are a couple of links that will get you started:
