I am in preliminary design of a contact management program. The
user would like to use his current mail server (POP3 - remote).

I have done some reading on the IMAP functions but am unclear if
the following is possible:

Using the IMAP functions can I write a PHP script to:
scan the subject lines of all mail in the mailbox ?
pop just certain messages from the inbox ?
delete those messages from the inbox ?

all without disturbing the other messages in his inbox that are
downloaded to his usual email client (Thunderbird).

If anyone can suggest a better way to do this, I am all ears.
