Req #78572 [Com]: Discontinue use of c-client library

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78572&edit=1 ID: 78572 Comment by: kieran at miami-nice dot co dot uk Reported by: bishop@php.net Summary: Discontinue use of c-client library Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: IMAP related PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I agree with Nikita. RE: sunset. I don't think there's a great deal wrong with ext/imap to warrant that. That said, it's long been neglected and if the world is moving towards OAuth then I'm sure the PHP devs would vote to drop it. For me, I think I'll consider moving to Horde/Imap_Client. The key benefit being that it's well tested. Anything that comes out of this ticket is likely to be rushed and buggy, or not available before the deadlines set by Google & Microsoft. Is anyone aware of any progress on anything?

The current show-stopper appears to be mail related tests on Windows, which currently use ext/imap. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
