Description

Migrated from PHPCAS-121

Description

Implement some kind of connection caching for imap. It should be possible to cache the opened streams somehow. PHP5 should support this (like for DBs). I have to investigate this and implement a solution.

Research direction

Start by investigating the existing IMAP connection handling and PHP5 support for caching database connections. Determine how opened IMAP streams could be reused, then verify that the implemented caching works without breaking authentication or PHP5 compatibility.
