Hello, I have asked this in another thread regarding DA on CentOS 5 and got great help from Randy.

In this case it is about IMAP support in PHP5 on a Debian box (Ubuntu 7.0.4) and after serching the Ubuntu forum I found a thread saying that it could be done with apt-get install php5-imap and now I wounder if anyone has done this with a good result. It is most important as the box is populated with several clients and I don't want anything to go wrong. :eek:
 
usually nothing can go wrong. You have to compile the php5-imap module as simply as adding it in your configuration and doing a httpd recompile: ./build php

rebuild the php5-imap and php itself. the rest should be OK.

After that restart the httpd and test it. If it is not working you should recompile without the php5-imap module in it. Do it at night, so you can afford you some downtime :)

Dont install php* modules with apt-get. It cou'ld mess up your PHP. The workaround for CentOS 5 works with Ubuntu (6.06LTS) too.
