ZF3 Mail Imap not able to handle badly formed emails when reading

Questions Components & MVC
1

I want to create an app to read through an IMAP mailbox extracting information from the headers. Unfortunately, the Zend\Mail\Imap functions can’t handle badly-formed emails and keep throwing exceptions. Is there an alternative or must I revert to the IMAP functions in PHP?

Can you give an example?

You can try … catch and handle the errors too.

For example

/home/richard/httpdocs/aqp-mail/new/vendor/zendframework/zend-mail/src/Address.php:77

Message:

The input is not a valid email address. Use the basic format local-part@hostname
