Hi There,

I am looping through and reading the body contents of a mail box with
over 200 emails in it. The script is running very slow and timing out
after 180 seconds, only getting through about 180 of these emails. Is
there anyway I can increase the speed of this script? Why is it taking
so long to loop through all these emails? Code is below:

if($mailbox= imap_open( "{###.###.#.###:143/imap}mail_box", $a, $b))
{
set_time_limit(180);
$check = imap_check($mailbox);
$message_count = imap_num_msg($mailbox);

for ($i=1;$i<=10;$i++)
{

$header = imap_header($mailbox,$i);
$body = imap_body($mailbox,$i);
$message = imap_fetchbody($mailbox,$i,1);

$strpos = strripos($message,"textfield3");
$prettydate = date("jS F Y", $header->udate);

echo $prettydate." - ".substr($message, $strpos+13, 8)."<br/>";

}

imap_close($mailbox);
}
else echo "no connection";
