Most distros don’t even include the php-imap extension anymore. The workarounds are ugly and undesirable from a security perspective.
Are there plans to migrate to a pure php extension for imap or we will have to deal with it for as longs as it takes?
For reference, someone already started this discussion on another project>>
You can create an issue on the SuiteCRM GitHub page.
Yeah, I went there first, however, this is neither a bug, a missing feature nor a security vulnerability. It does not qualify for a github issue. It falls down to being more like a suggestion than an issue.
Hello Alex,
suggestions would go into this category:
However, reading through this one here:
I’d classify this with a higher priority since, from PHP 8.4 it seems it will be more difficult to install SuiteCRM still …
I feel like, we should not wait with this one to become a bug, but proactively add this into the feature queue on Github. Or it could even be a (potential future) bug.
Would be interesting to know what the SuiteCRM team has planned for 8.10 with “Emails Improvements” - maybe it’s already in the backlog?

This totally qualifies as an Issue on Github because it’s “work for developers” 
And it’s not really optional, this has to be done…
It’s also the right time to do it because the lead developer is working on Campaigns.
In the suggestion box it will just get ignored, I am afraid.

Thank you for creating an issue on the GitHub.
@suitecrm_team Please check this for compatibility with PHP 8.4 or later versions of SuiteCRM.
