imap_delete Mark a message for deletion from current mailbox boolimap_delete intimap_stream intmsg_number intoptions Returns &true;. imap_delete marks messages listed in msg_number for deletion. The optional flags parameter only has a single option, FT_UID, which tells the function to treat the msg_number argument as a UID. Messages marked for deletion will stay in the mailbox until either imap_expunge is called or imap_close is called with the optional parameter CL_EXPUNGE. POP3 mailboxes do not have their message flags saved between connections, so imap_expunge must be called during the same connection in order for messages marked for deletion to actually be purged.
