PHP IMAP Hosting Notes
Understand why PressedMail account connections do not require native php-imap hosting support.
PressedMail mailbox account connections always use the bundled Webklex driver. Native php-imap is not required and is not preferred for those connections.
What the host must provide
- PHP 8.2 or newer.
- Outbound access to the mailbox provider's IMAP and SMTP ports.
- TLS certificate validation and working DNS resolution.
What diagnostics mean
Diagnostics may report whether native IMAP is installed because a general diagnostic factory can detect it. Saved mailbox accounts still use Webklex in either case. An unavailable native extension is not an account-connection fault.
If a mailbox will not connect, check credentials, provider policy, ports, and TLS instead of asking the host to install php-imap.
