# imap_delete

(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)

imap_delete -- Mark a message for deletion from current mailbox

## Description

bool imap_delete ( int imap_stream, int msg_number [, int options] )

Returns `TRUE`.

imap_delete() marks messages listed in msg_number for deletion. The optional flags parameter only has a single option, FT_UID, which tells the function to treat the msg_number argument as a UID. Messages marked for deletion will stay in the mailbox until either imap_expunge() is called or imap_close() is called with the optional parameter CL_EXPUNGE.

> Nota: POP3 mailboxes do not have their message flags saved between connections, so imap_expunge() must be called during the same connection in order for messages marked for deletion to actually be purged.

Esempio 1. imap_delete() example

`<?php
$mbox = imap_open("{your.imap.host}INBOX", "username", "password")
or die("Can't connect: " . imap_last_error());
$check = imap_mailboxmsginfo($mbox);
echo "Messages before delete: " . $check->Nmsgs . "<br />\n";
imap_delete($mbox, 1);
$check = imap_mailboxmsginfo($mbox);
echo "Messages after delete: " . $check->Nmsgs . "<br />\n";
imap_expunge($mbox);
$check = imap_mailboxmsginfo($mbox);
echo "Messages after expunge: " . $check->Nmsgs . "<br />\n";
imap_close($mbox);
?>`
