Why letters are not deleted?

/* try to connect */ $inbox = imap_open($hostname,$username,$password) or die('Cannot connect to Gmail: ' . imap_last_error()); /* grab emails */ $emails = imap_search($inbox,'ALL'); /* if emails are returned, cycle through each... */ if($emails) { /* begin output var */ $output = ''; /* put the newest emails on top */ rsort($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); /* output the email header information */ $output.= ''; $output.= ''.$overview[0]->subject.' '; $output.= ''.$overview[0]->from.''; $output.= 'on '.$overview[0]->date.''; $output.= ''; /* output the email body */ $output.= ''.$message.''; } echo $output; } imap_delete ($inbox ,'ALL'); /* close the connection */ imap_close($inbox);

I also tried imap_delete ($inbox , 1); - nothing too.

Where is the mistake?

    You missed the imap_expunge call. According to the documentation :

    imap_expunge - Delete all messages marked for deletion
