The IMAP extension in PHP enables functionality for working with mailboxes using the IMAP and POP3 protocols. The C library that the extension relies on has not been updated in many years.
Before PHP 8.4, the IMAP extension was bundled with the PHP core. Since PHP 8.4, the IMAP extension has been moved to PECL and is no longer part of the PHP core. PECL serves as a repository for a wide range of PHP extensions.
The webklex/php-imap library is an object-oriented PHP implementation of the IMAP protocol, and may serve as an alternative to the IMAP extension.
