Question

Email

How to use Laravel to receive incoming mail using POP3 or IMAP protocols? Or other options.

Answer 1

First link in google demo app for Laravel: https://github.com/ladybirdweb/momo-email-listener
Uses php-imap

Answer 2

If the speed of the appearance of a new letter on the site is important, then we recently did this:
- zimbra was installed on a separate vps
- all mail from the desired mailbox was redirected to a mailbox in zimbra
- a simple php script, once a minute, collected mail from zimbra via api ( it's faster than imap).
Bottom line: a new letter in the system appeared in 30-50 seconds.

Answer 3

An alternative option specifically for Exim:
You can add a configuration so that all incoming letters to a specific mailbox are redirected to a specific script that has already parsed data
