Below is a PHP script that I run daily (via a cron job) to check my imap email statistics. It generates a report like below. I use this statistic report to tell me how behind I am on my emails. It also reports a distribution of the emails for the last few weeks. You can run it on the web browser or run it on php command line (command: “php imap.php”)<\/p>\n
