Solution 1:
This is perfect working answer, try this.
This Sample run properly and download all the attachments with no issues.
<?php
set_time_limit(3000);
/* connect to gmail with your credentials */
$hostname = '{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX';
$username = 'YOUR_USERNAME';
$password = 'YOUR_PASSWORD';
/* try to connect */
$inbox = imap_open($hostname,$username,$password) or die('Cannot connect to Gmail: ' . imap_last_error());
$emails = imap_search($inbox, 'FROM "[email protected]"');
/* if any emails found, iterate through each email */
if($emails) {
$count = 1;
/* put the newest emails on top */
rsort($emails);
/* for every email... */
foreach($emails as $email_number)
{
/* get information specific to this email */
$overview = imap_fetch_overview($inbox,$email_number,0);
$message = imap_fetchbody($inbox,$email_number,2);
/* get mail structure */
$structure = imap_fetchstructure($inbox, $email_number);
$attachments = array();
/* if any attachments found... */
if(isset($structure->parts) && count($structure->parts))
{
for($i = 0; $i < count($structure->parts); $i++)
{
$attachments[$i] = array(
'is_attachment' => false,
'filename' => '',

}
}
