imap_open with timeout

[skynet]

Would it be possible to setup a timeout on

$connection = $server->authenticate('my_username', 'my_password');

Sometimes (and no idea why) it takes too long to authenticate and I'd rather retry. How do I stop (and debug) php when doing imap_open. Code snippet from https://github.com/ddeboer/imap/blob/master/src/Server.php below:

    public function authenticate($username, $password)
    {
        // Wrap imap_open, which gives notices instead of exceptions
        set_error_handler(
            function ($nr, $message) use ($username) {
                throw new AuthenticationFailedException($username, $message);
            }
        );

        $resource = imap_open(
            $this->getServerString(),
            $username,
            $password,
            null,
            1,
            $this->parameters
        );

        if (false === $resource) {
            throw new AuthenticationFailedException($username);
        }

        restore_error_handler();

        $check = imap_check($resource);
        $mailbox = $check->Mailbox;
        $this->connection = substr($mailbox, 0, strpos($mailbox, '}')+1);

        // These are necessary to get rid of PHP throwing IMAP errors
        imap_errors();
        imap_alerts();

        return new Connection($resource, $this->connection);
    }

I have the Same Problem (sometimes the authentification takes too Long)

Would vote for it (if the Library has this feature)

It seems this can be done with imap_timeout. Do you feel like opening a PR?

[Padrio]

Maybe i will create one in a few hours.

Hi do you already have a solution for this? I'm having the same problem for this.

[skynet]

no solution other than to monitor the process and stop if trying to connect runs for too long

Hi, to me this doesn't seem an issue related to the library, and I can't figure out how we can help to face it.
As said, you can try using imap_timeout which sets global configuration for all imap functions, and so you don't have to wait we implement it to use it.
