#38712 [Opn->Fbk]: php.net/imap doesn't support CAPABILITY, NAMESPACE etc., the c-client lib does.

ID: 38712 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: benjamin dot podszun at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: IMAP related Operating System: Linux 2.6 PHP Version: 4.4.4 New Comment: Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates all necessary tables, stored procedures etc. Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

This is crucial for some servers like courier-imap with virtual shared folders, since those end up in a different namespace and cannot be found without support for both CAPABILITY and NAMESPACE imap support. Reproduce code: --------------- IMAP source transcript to show the "right way" that php should offer as well: Transcript on my server: a001 capability * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION a001 OK CAPABILITY completed -> My server supports "namespace", which is exactly what I want/need to use a002 namespace * NAMESPACE (("INBOX." ".")) NIL (("#shared." ".")("shared." ".")) a002 OK NAMESPACE completed. -> As you can see the server supports both "shared." and "#shared" for shared folder namespaces. The latter is the one I need/use. a003 list "" * * LIST (\Marked \HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX" a003 OK LIST completed -> A wildcard list of everything, without giving any namespace. This results in only one response: My INBOX. a004 list "" #shared.* * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#shared.support@mydomain de" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#shared.sql-bugs@mydomain de" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#shared.treffen@mydomain de" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#shared.presse@anotherdomain de" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#shared.info@anotherdomain de" a004 OK LIST completed -> The "right way" (tm) to list the shared namespaces. Expected result: ---------------- Since both the RFC document php.net/imap links to and the underlying c-client library itself support these operations, I'd expect to have any kind of support for that methods in php as well. Actual result: -------------- No shared folders from php. No useable mail client in php. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38712&edit=1
