i doubt that RHEL has anything newer than Fedora 31 where it works depsipte of httpd crahes when you
relod apache instead of a hard restart

it's not nice *but* there is *no* replacement in case someone drives serious IT and autotests
to compare behavior if IMAP *and* POP3 for the same messages

FYI Imap-2007 will no longer compile on RedHat 8.

I fully agree with Nikita.

The current show-stopper appears to be mail related tests on
Windows, which currently use ext/imap.

Providing a composer package that exposes the ext/imap API on top of some existing IMAP
implementation is the way forward here, IMHO.

A native implementation of the IMAP protocol is a strong no-go from me. There is no benefit to
implementing this in C, and lots of disadvantages, especially where it comes to security.
