You shouldn't call imap_expungue until before closing the connection. imap_delete tags a messague for deletion, imap_expungue deletes all taggued messagues. i.e.:
for ($i = 0; $i < $num; $i++) {
imap_delete($box, $i);
}
imap_expungue($box);
imap_expungue should not be in your inner loop.imap_expungue() may changue order of messagues which were loaded using imap_sort().
That means, if you use foreach() on result of imap_sort() function and each pass you move/delete a messague and instantly expungue them, next cycle, messagues will have different numbers than imap_sort() returned and the script will fail.
