Bug still present, 5.2.8, Centos 5.2. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-12-07 03:59:17] phalenor at gmail dot com imap_open() absolutely needs a way to specify the order of authentication mechanisms to try. If one is attempting to do username/password auth to an imap server that supports GSSAPI, imap_open() tries GSSAPI then stops, never attempting to do PLAIN auth or otherwise. This should not be viewed as a misconfiguration of the imap server, as clients that use c-client manage to try multiple auth mechs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-10 13:36:24] php at eikel dot org Hello, this problem still exists in PHP 5.2.6. As stated by Mark Crispin [1] this problem is probably a bug in the PHP IMAP implementation. Any suggestions how to fix this problem?

IMHO, this is indeed a deficiency in PHP, and the solution is simple: Expose the uw-imap mail_parameters() function in the PHP API. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
