| Title | Reimplement any IMAP support as a native implementation (on hold) |
| Status | Open |
| Handling member | Deleted |
| Addon | core |
| Description | We have a native SMTP implementation, we could have a native IMAP implementation easily too. Perhaps our own code, perhaps an existing library.
This would mean we would not rely on the IMAP extension being installed, and the PHP developers are close to dropping that anyway: - https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78572 (EDIT: It is staying FOR NOW, but there's interest in moving to a Composer drop-in replacement, which we could then easily integrate) - https://wiki.php.net/rfc/removal_of_dead_sapis_and_exts#extimap (EDIT: It was voted to stay) |
