Sorry, I am completely new with PHP, but need to automatically save attachments from my emails on my NAS.

PHP is installed.

I saved the
attachmentread.class.php and readattachment.php within a subfolder of my synology WEB folder.

I updated the readattachment.php with my login data:

open stream {imap.googlemail.com:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX

I get the following error message:
Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream {imap.googlemail.com:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX in /volume1/web/Mailattachmentreader/attachmentread.class.php on line 44 can't connect: Can't open mailbox {imap.googlemail.com:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX: invalid remote specification

I probably did as wrong as possible, but there's little dummy info how to start (unless I am too dummy to find).

Thanks for your help

Best regards

Holger

Hello Jijomon,

thanks for the fast feedback. I doesn't work, neither.

Currently I think something won't work on my Synology.

Even phpinfo(); works fine, I think that its a port problem or something similar.

Wheras I can connect to googlemail by my macbook with

telnet imap.googlemail.com 993

it will not connect when trying from my diskstation.

I can ping imap.googlemail.com (so DNS seems to work) but thats it.

I continue debugging ... any hints ?

Yes , it could probably due to firewall setting , since you can't also connect to port 993 : so please check your local firewall settings . This is the first time some one reporting kind of error with this script.

I finally got it to work, with an almost endless try of incorrect logins.

However, I realize quite a problem.

I have an ICS file attached to the mail I would like to detach and save on my server to use the calendar abo function in my smartphone.

However, when I save the ics manually to the directory, it fine and UTF formated.

When the script does the job it results in a binary which cannot be read.

However, I have no clue at all, where to look up the problem and to fix it.

Any hints ?
