Solution 1

On Ubuntu and debian a better way is to enable it this way:

sudo apt install php-imap
sudo phpenmod imap
sudo service apache2 restart

On CentOS7+

sudo yum install php-imap

On Ubuntu (<= 14.04) and debian (<= Weezy)

sudo apt-get install php5-imap
sudo php5enmod imap
sudo service apache2 restart

Solution 2

If you are using LAMP server,

First install IMAP using the command on terminal

$ sudo apt-get install php5-imap

Then add this extension=imap.so code to your php.ini file

Restart your server,

$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

It will work

Solution 3

sudo apt-get purge php5
sudo apt-get install php5=5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4
sudo apt-get install php5-imap php5-curl

add in php.ini

extension=imap.so


extension=curl.so

reload and restart apache2. clear all your browser history. And Check than. it may be help.

not the nice way to modify manually some config files which are managed by debian/ubuntu packaging tools or php-tools.

also forgot, since ubuntu 14.04 you have to restart your services with service apache2 restart

sudo apt-get install php-imap seems to do a better job
