I am not sure this is a bug or support request.

In system status, admin/reports/status, I get the error message:
Mailhandler requires that PHP's IMAP extension is enabled in order to function properly.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 but have pinned php5 to 5.2.10, php5-imap, and php5-mcrypt to 5.2.6 per https://launchpad.net/~txwikinger/+archive/php5.2

When I take a look at the /usr/lib/php5 directory I see:

If I add imap.ini to /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d and run php -v I get an error that the api version for php5-imap is not the same as php5.2.10 installed. As a result I removed it. In either case the status report error persists.

Has anyone else ran up against this issue? How have you solved it?

Not sure what to tell you, sorry... did you ever figure out a solution? Is this still an issue for you?

thanks. I found that link a long time ago. I get the same issue as the first commenter.

http://drupal.txwikinger.me.uk/content/php5-mcrypt-and-php5-imap-package...

I am on bunt 10.04 and pinned php 5.2.

It will not load crypt or imap because of the versions of php.

Do you have any idea how to get around that?

Nope:

dpkg -i libc-client2007b_2007b~dfsg-1.1build1_amd64.deb
dpkg: error processing libc-client2007b_2007b~dfsg-1.1build1_amd64.deb (--install):

@SocialNicheGuru - can you try the 32-bit versions linked to in #12? Also, one workaround (yet to be implemented) could be to avoid the PHP IMAP extension altogether: #275926: Message retrieval library plugins (in order to avoid PHP IMAP dependency)

I ran like this for some time, but finally 5.3 packages made it into the ubuntu repo so I just upgraded to php5.3, and removed the pinning to 5.2. Can you upgrade to 5.3?
