In case if you want to download attachments as zip

$zip = new ZipArchive();
$tmp_file = tempnam('.', '');
$zip->open($tmp_file, ZipArchive::CREATE);

$mailbox = $connection->getMailbox('INBOX');
foreach ($mailbox->getMessage() as $message) {
    $attachments = $message->getAttachments();
    foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {
        $zip->addFromString($attachment->getFilename(), $attachment->getDecodedContent());
    }
}

$zip->close();

# send the file to the browser as a download
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=download.zip');
header('Content-type: application/zip');
readfile($tmp_file);
