When i connect directly via telnet to my IMAP-Server, 'fetch n (bodystructure)' returns the envelope of subparts with the type 'message/rfc822', as described in RFC 2060. (I do not mean the envelope of the main-part!)

But when i call imap_fetchstructure via PHP, i do NOT get any envelope?!

Is there any other way to get these envelopes? Now i have to download the whole message and parse it myself. But this of course is very slow in PHP ;)

I saw your bug report on bugs.php.net -- pity a 3rd party can't add comments or I would have posted that there.

Anyways, php uses the c-client library, which can be broken in some aspects.  To get information about the envelope, you would need to do imap_rfc822_parse_headers(imap_fetchbody($mbox, $msgid, "$part.0"));

In your example in the bug, $part would be "2".  This will return an object similar to imap_headerinfo (IE, grabbing the envelope from the main message).  Technically, according to the RFC, you should grab $part.HEADER, not $part.0 -- but like I said, c-client is a bit screwy.  I left an explanation of that part of the problem in
http://php.net/manual/en/function.imap-fetchbody.php

Please let me know if this helps.

Ryan's comment describes the way to get at this info in c-client.
