Re: imap_search ?

Imap remains open after you search and doesn't close until you call imap_close. Firstly the code shouldn't be written like that, while should not operate on a fail condition of a function exec, that's just bad coding practice and that's what causes a loop here. If there are no messages in the email box, imap search will return false, and you will have a loop until it gets a message... Here is what your scrip does: First run: Get all messages Gets array of messages Fails while condition Fetch Print Delete all Exit Next time: Get messages Gets false (no messages) Hits while loop where by it will continue to send imap requests until a message hits the mail box (your almost infinite loop) ..... -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
