See PHP's IMAP reference; here's the core functionality:

$mbox = imap_open ("{localhost:993/imap/ssl}INBOX", "user_id", "password");
$message_count = imap_num_msg($mbox);
if ($message_count > 0) {
    $headers = imap_fetchheader($mbox, $message_count, FT_PREFETCHTEXT);
    $body = imap_body($mbox, $message_count);
    file_put_contents('/your/file/here.eml', $headers . "\n" . $body);
}
imap_close($mbox);

What happens here:

• open the mailbox
• get message count
• if there are any:
  • get headers of the last one
  • get body of the last one
  • save them together in a file
• close the mailbox
