We use the extension in several projects, and looking at packagist, all the
imap packages use it.

I wasn't even aware of the horde imap client mentioned in the link (5 stars
on GitHub, not on packagist).  I think there should be a long deprecation
period before it was removed, which would give time for a polyfill package
to spring up.

Thanks,
Peter
