Re: cvs: php4 /ext/imap php_imap.c php_imap.h

I've dug around in the IMAP code, I've done testing with 3 different IMAP servers used in production, and have dug around on the c-client code for a while. As stated by Mark Musone in a letter to php-dev (http://www.phpbuilder.com/mail/php-developer-list/200004/0639.php) no server yet supports it. I don't know the status of the RFC, but I haven't seen mention of it on www.imap.org, nor in RFC 2060 (the IMAP standard revised). If it has been implemented, IMAP.org doesn't seem to know about it. But again the code is commented out. Why mislead our users into thinking this functionality exists for PHP when it clearly doesn't? And why is this convo happening on php-cvs and not php-dev? :\ On Mon, 5 Aug 2002, Rasmus Lerdorf wrote: > How much digging have you done?
