imap_mail
About the slowness of imap_mailboxmsginfo() : if used on an IMAP connection, I did checked my mailserver logs and it appeared to send FETCH commands to retrieve the headers of EVERY messages of the mailbox ...
So, if you have, let's say, 400 messages in a folder, the function will be very slow (>1.5 sec on a local server !) ...
I strongly advise you to use imap_status() instead, which only sends one < STATUS "Mailbox/Name" (MESSAGES UNSEEN) > and is actually a lot faster (at least with IMAP, but that's maybe not true with POP3)

The runtime difference between imap_status and imap_mailboxmsginfo is very significant on large mailboxes
<?php
/** opening connection to a
* mailbox with 3987 messages
* and retrive status information **/
$mbox = imap_open ('{mail.somwhere.com:110}', $user, $password);
$mbox_info = imap_status($mbox, '{mail.somwhere.com:110}INBOX', SA_MESSAGES);
/** took 11.05 seconds **/
$mbox_info = imap_mailboxmsginfo($mbox);
/** took 6 minutes 5.382 seconds **/
?>

the 'recent' of this function returns the same as 'UIDvalidity' from imap_status() ... makes no sense (or dos it?)

then use imap_get_quotaroot().....
or use this one (works with qmail):
function get_quotaroot() {
if(!$socket = @fsockopen("your server", your port);
return false;
fgets($socket, 1024);
fputs($socket, "a001 LOGIN ".$username." ".$password."\n");
fgets($socket, 1024);
fputs($socket, "a002 GETQUOTAROOT INBOX\n");
fgets($socket, 1024);
$result = fgets($socket, 1024);
fputs($socket, "a003 LOGOUT\n");
fgets($socket, 1024);
sscanf($result, '* QUOTA "ROOT" (STORAGE %d %d MESSAGE %d %d', $usedSize, $maxSize, $usedNum, $maxNum);
return array("usedSize" => $usedSize, "maxSize" => $maxSize, "usedNum" => $usedNum, "maxNum" => $maxNum);
}

Don't lie... I've timed it, there is merely a time difference, besides it returns a lot of other useful info packed in an object!

It is very slow,so don't use it to get mailbox size,used imap_get_quota instead.
