Before I go with a RFC and all that, I would like to check the current feeling about killing ext/imap. The c-client project is dead since quite some time already. I do not see any viable alternative (applicable to server side usages) and it would be very hard to maintain the same APIs, given the little mess in the imap's API. There are also plenty of very good PHP implementation out there. Roundcube being my favourite, zeta components of the Zend Frameworks being two other. What are your thoughts about this drop?
