Nice to hear from you.

See https://horde-satis.maintaina.com/#horde/imap_client for a "pear
free" version using only composer for installation and composer format
dependencies. It's the git-master versions, possibly with up to 7 days
of delay in commits.

I'm happy to process any input on these.

If you need the composer conversion for one of the tagged versions, I
can provide you with instructions on how to create that yourself.
