• 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

MichaelSlusarz 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=IMAP

• RFC 2971 - ID

• RFC 3501 - IMAP4rev1 specification

• RFC 3502 - MULTIAPPEND

• RFC 3516 - BINARY

• RFC 3691 - UNSELECT

• RFC 4315 - UIDPLUS

• 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 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+.
