By using imap_fetchbody() you may run in trouble by using too much memory. Using imap_savebody() may prevent this. 
But the content will be encoded, in other words it is useless. Adding a filter can help here.
<?php
$whandle = fopen('./incomming/tmp.tif','w');
stream_filter_append($whandle, 
 'convert.base64-decode',STREAM_FILTER_WRITE);
imap_savebody ($mbox, $whandle, $i, $partcounter++);
fclose($whandle);
?>

NOTE: To find the proper filter you need to check the encoding given by the structure of the body.
