Hi! > However, I totally fail to understand your reasoning. We know both > libraries are dead. ext/Imap is almost not used anymore by any major What you mean by "major tool relying on imap"? I've used ext/imap multiple times in the past, and I know others do too. Of course, there are different libraries, so what - there are also libraries that support HTTP or JSON, that's not the reason to remove HTTP or JSON support from PHP. > tool relying on imap, Which appealing reasons do you have to force us > to have to maintain them for the next decade? The same reason as for other things - it is useful and being used. If you have reasons why not, I'm fine with considering them, but so far it has been a bit vague. The fact that the library is not updated doesn't mean it doesn't work. If it doesn't work - fine, let's see where it doesn't work and decide then. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
