Install the PHP IMAP extension on Debian

[Xavier Mustin]

To install the PHP IMAP extension on Debian, run the following from the command line either as root or using the sudo command:

aptitude install php5-imap

You'll be able to immediately access the IMAP functions from the command line interface but will need to gracefully restart Apache to access the functions in your web based scripts by running the following either as root or using the sudo command:

apache2ctl graceful

OR

/usr/sbin/apache2ctl graceful

Now you should be able to use the PHP IMAP functions.
