If you need to install php-imap on your Raspberry Pi you can easily install it.

Step 1: Update Raspberry Pi

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install php7.4-imap

sudo phpenmod -v 5.6 <modulename>
sudo phpenmod -v 7.1 <modulename>

(depending on version installed)

sudo service apache2 restart

  when type «sudo apt-get install php7-imap» or «sudo apt-get install php7.0-imap» I got the next errors:
  E: Unable to locate php7-imap package
  E: Could not find any package with regular expression “php7.0-imap”

    Hi Jose.
    What php7 version are you using?
    You should install IMAP ext for your PHP version; so if running PHP 7.4, try running sudo apt-get install php7.4-imap.
    
    I’ve updated the article to reflect this.
    
    Let me know if it helps
