How to access all the incoming emails for all different accounts on a mail server?

I am doing a small project for my college, in which I have to scan incoming emails for certain keywords. If they are clear, then only allow them to be read by user from inbox.

I am developing this in PHP using CodeIgnitor, and I am using hmailserver for mail server.

I was going to use this PHP code to access the mailbox, and fetch the mails:

$mb = imap_open("{host:port/imap}","username", "password" );

Also, something like in this article.

The issue is, there will be multiple user accounts on mail server. I cannot provide username and password for every account in PHP code. How can I check the incoming email content, before the user receives it, without giving usernames and passwords of each and every account on mail server?

It looks like that is nothing you do with PHP. You'd rather use whitelists/blacklists of HMAIL Server. – Alex Odenthal Mar 24 '17 at 13:25
@AlexOdenthal can you elaborate about whitelist/blacklist functionality please? – NiK Mar 24 '17 at 13:32
read this [documentation](https://www.hmailserver.com/docs) – Alex Odenthal Mar 24 '17 at 13:49
Do you know about email piping ? – minychillo Mar 26 '17 at 13:25
Do you want to implement a Mail Gatekeeper "for all Users" or you just want to scan any IMAP Mailbox independently? In general, all Emails go to hMailServers \DATA\*.* folder – Dravion Jul 19 '19 at 05:07
