Determine the implementation method
There are two protocols for reading emails: POP3 and IMAP, the difference is: The POP3 protocol allows email clients to download emails on the server, but operations on the client will not be fed back to the server. IMAP Provides two-way communication between webmail and email clients. Operations on the client will be fed back to the server. For operations on emails, the emails on the server will also take corresponding actions.
The requirement requires that after processing the user's email, the email should be marked as processed, so the IMAP protocol is selected.
Installation dependencies
Both local and server php need to install the imap extension. Add the php-imap (https://github.com/barbushin/php-imap) extension to the project's composer.json as follows:
"require": {
"php-imap/php-imap": "^3.1",
},

Get a list of all unread messages

Mark certain messages as read
/**
* @param array $mail_ids

*/
public function markRead($mail_ids)

}
Search for messages with specified topics and mark them as read
$imap = new ImapService();
$condition = 'UNSEEN SUBJECT "' . $title . '" SINCE "' . date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-1 days')) . '" FROM ' . $mail;
$data['mail'] = $imap->mailbox->searchMailbox($condition);
if (!empty($data['mail'])) {
$data['info'] = $imap->mailbox->getMailsInfo($data['mail']);
if ($params['mark'] == 1) {
$data['mark'] = $imap->markRead(array_column($data['info'], 'uid'));
}
}
