I must have been reading the h3 docs, instead of current. o.O The library is indeed very nice, https://github.com/horde/Imap_Client/ Looks like it's faster than native ext/imap, too https://dev.horde.org/imap_client/ One recent SO answer comparing ext/imap and Horde Imap_Client: https://stackoverflow.com/q/6659409/2908724 Given the high quality userland option(s) out there, it seems a waste of effort to revitalize the extension with a fresh imap implementation. We should be fixing the bugs though, and I'll focus on that. For now let's just call it actively maintained, but feature frozen? bishop
