# imap_getsubscribed

List all the subscribed mailboxes

### Description

array imap_getsubscribed ( resource `$imap_stream` , string `$ref` , string `$pattern` )

Gets information about the subscribed mailboxes.

Identical to imap_getmailboxes, except that it only returns mailboxes that the user is subscribed to.

### Parameters

`imap_stream`

  An IMAP stream returned by imap_open.

`ref`

  `ref` should normally be just the server specification as described in imap_open

`pattern`

  Specifies where in the mailbox hierarchy to start searching.

  There are two special characters you can pass as part of the `pattern`: '*' and '%'. '*' means to return all mailboxes. If you pass `pattern` as '*', you will get a list of the entire mailbox hierarchy. '%' means to return the current level only. '%' as the `pattern` parameter will return only the top level mailboxes; '~/mail/%' on UW_IMAPD will return every mailbox in the ~/mail directory, but none in subfolders of that directory.

### Return Values

Returns an array of objects containing mailbox information. Each object has the attributes `name`, specifying the full name of the mailbox; `delimiter`, which is the hierarchy delimiter for the part of the hierarchy this mailbox is in; and `attributes`. `Attributes` is a bitmask that can be tested against:

- `LATT_NOINFERIORS` - This mailbox has no "children" (there are no mailboxes below this one).
- `LATT_NOSELECT` - This is only a container, not a mailbox - you cannot open it.
- `LATT_MARKED` - This mailbox is marked. Only used by UW-IMAPD.
- `LATT_UNMARKED` - This mailbox is not marked. Only used by UW-IMAPD.
