    text
    copied!<p>I'm new to IMAP functions in PHP and I am tasked to build some ticketing site.<br> I get the basic email fetching part but I kinda stumbled on the "Threaded Conversation View" hurdle.</p> <p>I need to be able to present the emails (both sent and received) in a threaded conversation view much like a smartphone's SMS facility.</p> <p>Most of the algorithms I found all just dealt with threaded inbox excluding the sent items. It would be nice if ya'll can help me with this.</p> <p>My final target result would be, initially, an array of "UNREAD" mails grouped per subject each containing a trail of exchanged emails belonging to that subject.</p> <p>Something like this:</p> <pre><code>array ( [0] =&gt; array ( [0] =&gt; array ( 'date' =&gt; 'some date', 'sender' =&gt; 'some sender', 'message' =&gt; 'yes i am', 'subject' =&gt; 'Re: Fubar', 'status' =&gt; 'unread' ), [1] =&gt; array ( 'date' =&gt; 'some date', 'sender' =&gt; 'some sender', 'message' =&gt; 'are you from america?', 'subject' =&gt; 'Re: Fubar', 'status' =&gt; 'read' [2] =&gt; array ( 'date' =&gt; 'some date', 'sender' =&gt; 'some sender', 'message' =&gt; 'hello', 'subject' =&gt; 'Re: Fubar', 'status' =&gt; 'read' [3] =&gt; array ( 'date' =&gt; 'some date', 'sender' =&gt; 'some sender', 'message' =&gt; 'hi', 'subject' =&gt; 'Fubar', 'status' =&gt; 'read' ), [1] =&gt; array ( [0] =&gt; array ( 'date' =&gt; 'some date', 'sender' =&gt; 'some sender', 'message' =&gt; 'hell yeah!', 'subject' =&gt; 'Re: Skills', 'status' =&gt; 'unread' ), [1] =&gt; array ( 'date' =&gt; 'some date', 'sender' =&gt; 'some sender', 'message' =&gt; 'are you good enough?', 'subject' =&gt; 'Skills', 'status' =&gt; 'read' ) </code></pre>
