I added imap_utf8_to_mutf7 and imap_mutf7_to_utf8 to php 5.3 and 6.0.
5.2 can't accept new features, you can easily backport the two functions
from 5.3. However I won't fix the utf7_encode/decode functions as they
should actually use the imap API and UTF-8.

As far as I know, iconv does not support IMAP modified UTF7 out of
the box. Atleast my version 1.9.1 does not and I have a patch for
exactly that. Though we can't rely on people having a patched iconv
version.
The c-client IMAP library has support for UTF8 <-> modified UTF7.
Maybe that would be an option?

Should we not simply rely on iconv in 5.2/5.3 and ICU in HEAD?

Here is short and reliable test:
# sapi/cli/php -r '$tst = mb_convert_encoding("täst", "ISO-8859-1",
"UTF8"); echo $tst, "\n"; echo imap_utf7_encode($tst), "\n",
mb_convert_encoding($tst, "UTF7-IMAP", "ISO-8859-1"), "\n";'

Description:
------------
Hello together,
I tried to encode german umlauts using imap_utf7_encode(),
but the computed string is not understood by the cyrus IMAP server.
This is pretty much related to bug #15630, but now I had the
help of a coworker who is pretty fast decoding base64 by hand :-)
UTF-7 is defined to encode special characters as two byte UTF-16
stream.
Normally the ISO-8859-1 string "täst" should be encoded into t&AOQ-st,
which corresponds to 0x00, 0xe4.
The current code in PHP 5.2.6 encodes it to t&5A-st,
which is 0xe4 without the leading 0x00.
Would be nice if that could be resolved since it's
not compatible with most IMAP implementations.
Bug #15630 is around since 2002.
Cheers,
Thomas
Reproduce code:
---------------
echo imap_utf7_encode("täst");
Expected result:
----------------
t&AOQ-st
Actual result:
--------------
t&5A-st
