Description:
------------
Message_id retrived by imap_headerinfo is empty when mail is local. Message_id retrived by Thunderbird for exemple is correct event if mail is local.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Very simple code : 

$mbox=imap_open($MAILSERVER,
               $PHP_AUTH_USER,
               $PHP_AUTH_PW);
$header=imap_headerinfo($mbox,
                       $num,
                       80,80);
echo "Message_ID : $header->message_id<br>";


Expected result:
----------------
Always see the Message_id if it is set on the mail server.

Actual result:
--------------
Message_id's content is lost when we use PHP/imap and if the mail is local. There's no problem with mails from outside.

Does imap_fetch_overview() works for you in this case ?

this is unlikely to be a PHP bug,though.

PHP uses c-client as the underlying library for ext/imap.
If c-client returns empty/invalid data - there is not much PHP can do about it.

Thanks for your answer.

No, it's the problem is also present with imap_fetch_overview.

It's right, but PHP, PHP's users and website's visitors are impacted. 

So, I can open a bug to c-client's mainteners. I need debug data for that. Is there a way to obtain such info ? 

Thanks for your answer.

As well as everybody else using c-client.

You should ask them about it.

Sorry for the misunderstood, but is it possible to have debug messages with php and a particular extension (in this case imap/c-client) ?

I would have php debug data for imap-client with the php code I've provided.
 [2006-06-02 10:39 UTC] tony2001@php.net 
I've no idea what debug messages are you talking about.
Please keep this bug as bogus.
 [2006-06-02 10:47 UTC] mad at dactar dot ch 
I'm talking about debug messages for an extension. But if PHP doesn't have a debug mode for the extensions, there's no debug messages available of course.

I faced similar problem. 
 System info: PHP 5.1; Linux: RHEL 5.x; Qmail_Ldap/courier-imap-4.x

Some mails (about 20% mails)
 imap_headerinfo() & imap_fetcheader() both get empty message_id.

use strlen($msgid); I got the length = 47
But if echo $msgid; the result is empty.

How to fix this problem, please advise.
 [2011-01-27 03:32 UTC] willieyam2003 at yahoo dot com dot hk 
I found out what goes wrong.
When echo strstr($msgid,1,$msgidlen-1), the result is normal.
Those 20% email sent by outlook, the message id looks like this: 
<xxxxxxx@yyyyy.com> (html tag). Other mail client message id looks similar but 
imap_headerinfo will change '<' to '&lt;' and '>' to '&gt;' automatically.

$msgid = str_replace('<','',$msgid);
$msgid = str_replace('>','',$msgid);
echo $msgid; 

then the echo result is normal.

same occours with gmx-mails (freemailer) and gmail.
