Comment 6 Joe Orton 2019-06-12 14:41:11 UTC

The php "imap" extension uses the C library from the UW IMAP project which is not included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (since 7), since the upstream project is no longer active (there has not been an upstream release since 2007).  We recommend customers move to pure-PHP implementations of IMAP.
