[imp] DB Connection Handle Consumption

Then what is this:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imap-popen.php

Or is this function experimental, broken, incomplete, or something?

I've been wondering for a long time why IMP doesn't use imap_popen().  So, 
why?  *grin*  I tried searching the archives for any discussion of imap_popen
(), but I was unable to find anything of relevance.

If imap_popen() works, then it really should be pretty trivial adding 
persistant IMAP support to IMP (:%s/imap_open/imap_popen/g ought to do the 
trick).
