Hi!

Anyhow, this is water under the bridge now, and I think we should issue a call for maintainership[4] for ext/imap as soon as possible, since this is not the only issue[5] of this unmaintained[6] extension.

Pierre is listed as maintainer. But given that he is for deprecating it, I guess we try to find somebody who is willing to revive it (not likely) and failing that (likely) go the deprecation route probably... Given how many references to it I see on github though, it's not the best outcome.

I'd like to take this one, too. RoundCube may roll its own, but I know the popular Horde IMP uses this extensively.

Horde isn't using ext/imap since ages, but has developed a PHP-only IMAP library long ago, that's being used by many other OSS projects too.

I suspect that the extension's going to have the performance one would desire when dealing with giant mailboxes, but c-client is hard to deal with. I've had experience with c-client for a while (stretching back to Pine days), and yet still would like to roadmap our way to a modern implementation. bishop
