After upgrading from openSuSe Leap 42.3 to 15.0 PHP Software using php7-imap does not work any more since openSuSe ditched php7-imap php7-imap extension missing since 7.2.3.
Apparently there are not even community packages for the current 7.2.5 version.
Can I find a working imap.so for openSuSe Leap 15.0 elsewhere?

Why not just download the PHP source code and compile the imap extension yourself like I just did. You will need to install the php7-devel, libc-client, and ssl-devel, and imap-devel. FURTHER the imap libs are put in lib64 but the PHP src is looking for them in lib. So create symlinks. It seems to work just fine.
