How can the error "supplied argument is not a valid imap resource" be fixed when using imap_fetch_overview in PHP?

The error "supplied argument is not a valid imap resource" occurs when the imap_fetch_overview function is called with an invalid or closed IMAP connection resource. To fix this error, make sure to open a valid IMAP connection before calling imap_fetch_overview. 

// Open a valid IMAP connection
$imap = imap_open('{mail.example.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX', 'username', 'password');

// Check if the IMAP connection is valid
if ($imap) {
    // Use imap_fetch_overview with the valid IMAP connection
    $emails = imap_fetch_overview($imap, 1, 0);
    
    // Process the fetched emails
    print_r($emails);
    
    // Close the IMAP connection
    imap_close($imap);
} else {
    echo "Failed to open IMAP connection";
}
