• Horde IMAP Client library

Create an abstracted interface to an IMAP server. Create a native-PHP driver which will allow us to control all access to the IMAP server to be able to potentially use all features that IMAP provides.

++ Bugs

I'm sure there are bugs.

++ People

Michael Slusarz is creating the library.

++ Description

As of mid-October 2008, the library is already fairly stable. A test program exists to allow anyone to test the code on their IMAP server.

A c-client driver exists that implements as much of the library as possible using the imap_*() functions, and uses the Socket (native PHP code) library to implement the rest.

A POP3 driver exists that uses the c-client driver to implement the commands that a POP server support.

The Socket library, which IMP 5.x will exclusively use for IMAP access, supports the following RFCs:

• RFC 2086/4314 - ACL
• RFC 2087 - QUOTA
• RFC 2088 - LITERAL+
• RFC 2195 - AUTH=CRAM-MD5
• RFC 2221 - LOGIN-REFERRALS
• RFC 2342 - NAMESPACE
• RFC 2595/4616 - AUTH=PLAIN
• RFC 2831 - DIGEST-MD5 authentication mechanism.
• RFC 2971 - ID
• RFC 3501 - IMAP4rev1 specification
• RFC 3502 - MULTIAPPEND
• RFC 3516 - BINARY
• RFC 3691 - UNSELECT
• RFC 4315 - UIDPLUS
• RFC 4422 - SASL Authentication (for DIGEST-MD5)
• RFC 4466 - Collected extensions (updates RFCs 2088, 3501, 3502, 3516)
• RFC 4551 - CONDSTORE
• RFC 4731 - ESEARCH
• RFC 4959 - SASL-IR
• RFC 5032 - WITHIN
• RFC 5161 - ENABLE
• RFC 5162 - QRESYNC
• RFC 5182 - SEARCHRES
• RFC 5255 - LANGUAGE/!I18NLEVEL
• RFC 5256 - THREAD/SORT
• RFC 5267 - ESORT
• [NO RFC] - XIMAPPROXY (see http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/imapproxy-info/2008-October/000771.html)

Additionally, the class includes a UTF-8 to UTF7-IMAP converter, an IMAP mailbox sorter, and an abstracted caching library.

The library requires PHP 5.2.0+.
